3 later decisions quote this exact passage“When a new trial is granted because the verdict, findings or judgment do not accord with the evidence, the court shall make special findings of fact upon each material issue or element of the claim or defense upon which a new trial is granted. Such finding shall indicate whether the decision is against the weight of the evidence or whether it is clearly erroneous as contrary to or not supported by the evidence; if the decision is found to be against the weight of the evidence, the findings shall relate the supporting and opposing evidence to each issue upon which a new trial is granted; if the decision is found to be clearly erroneous as contrary to or not supported by the evidence, the findings shall show why judgment was not entered upon the evidence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Blay v. Vogel“Where there is no promise on the part of the employer that employment will continue for a definite period of time and no binding promise on the part of the employee that he will continue in the employment, the employment relationship is terminable at will and, therefore, the contract of employment is unenforceable with respect to that which remains executory. Shaw v. S.S. Kresge Co. (1975) 167 Ind. App. 1 , 328 N.E.2d 775 . Such a contract, terminable at will, cannot form the basis of an action for interference with a contractual relationship. Grimm [ v. Baumgart ], supra [(1951), 121 Ind. App. 626 ], 96 N.E.2d 915 at 918 .”
