Snell v. Jewell8/30/2002
. "An issue is moot if an event has occurred that renders it impossible for the court, if it should decide in favor of the party, to grant relief." Michigan Nat Bank v St Paul Fire & Marine Ins Co, 223 Mich App 19, 21; 566 NW2d 7 (1997). In essence, the jury found no cause of action against Empty Keg. This conclusion, which we affirm above, renders this issue moot. Moreover, were we to find that the trial court erred in instructing the jury to allocate a percentage of fault to each defendant the jury found liable, any alleged error was clearly harmless; a defendant cannot be held severally liable and share the burden of a jury award if, as here, the jury found no liability on the part of that defendant.
Affirmed.
