3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a] stipulation is an agreement between the parties establishing a particular fact in controversy. The effect of a stipulation is to eliminate the necessity of submitting that issue of fact to the jury. Where facts are stipulated, they are deemed established as fully as if determined by jury verdict. A stipulated fact is not for the consideration of the jury, and the jury may not decide such fact contrary to the parties’ stipulation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he law is well settled in this jurisdiction that in cases of personal injuries resulting from defendant's negligence, the plaintiff is entitled to recover the present worth of all damages naturally and proximately resulting from defendant's tort”
