N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 101.65
PEREMPTORY INSTRUCTION.
This issue reads:
"(Read issue; e.g., 'Did the plaintiff buy a 1981
Oldsmobile from the defendant on April 1, 1981?')"
The burden of proof on this issue is on (identify party having the
burden of proof). This means that (identify party) must prove by the
greater weight of the evidence that (state affirmative of issue; e.g., "the
plaintiff bought a 1981 Oldsmobile from the defendant on April 1, 1981").
All of the evidence tends to show that (state affirmative of issue).
Therefore, as to this issue, I charge you that if you find the facts to
be as all the evidence tends to show, you will answer this issue, "yes," in
favor of (identify party having the burden of proof).
However, if you fail to find by the greater weight of the evidence
that (state affirmative of issue), even though there is no evidence to the
contrary, then it would be your duty to answer this issue, "no," in favor of
(identify other party).
