Appellee-plaintiff City of Albany the “City” brought a complaint on a promissory note against appellant-defendant Jimmy Bradford, a subcontractor indebted to the City upon start-up funds in the amount of $137,485.28 loaned him for work on a City project to renovate certain apartments. Defendant answered pleading payment of the debt by entitlement to setoff for materials left on the job site after the City’s action terminating him as a subcontractor. The trial court granted plaintiff’s motion for directed verdict, finding that “there was no testimony or evidence establishing the value of merchandise and items abandoned to the City or the precise nature of the items and merchandise abandoned to the City.” Defendant appeals from the trial court’s order denying his motion for new trial, contending the trial court erred in directing a verdict for the City in that there was sufficient evidence upon which the jury could have determined the value of his setoff claim. Held:

A verdict shall be directed when there is no conflict in the evidence as to any material issue and the evidence introduced, with all reasonable deductions therefrom, shall demand a particular verdict. Pendley v. Pendley, 251 Ga. 30 1 302 SE2d 554 1983; OCGA § 9-11-50 a.
