Applied in 2 court decisions — leading case Gionfriddo v. Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. (1984)

Most recently applied in Gionfriddo v. Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. (February 1984)

(1949 Rev., S. 7988; P.A. 82-160, S. 118.) History: P.A. 82-160 replaced “the cause” with “an action” and rephrased the section.

If a verdict is found on any issue joined in an action in favor of the plaintiff, costs shall be allowed to him, though on some other issue the defendant should be entitled to judgment, unless the court which tried the issue is of the opinion that the defendant had probable cause to plead the matter found against him.
