separate-general verdict

separate-general verdict
A finding by the jury upon any of the issues in favor of the plaintiff or the defendant. The meaning of the expression is that the verdict is separate as to the particular issue as distinguished from any other issue in the case, and that it is general as to the particular issue. It is only applied in cases where there is more than one issue. It is not to be confused with a special verdict, which is a finding of facts by the jury. Witty v C. O. & S. W. Railroad Co. 83 Ky 21, 29.
