Jury Nullification is a concept in criminal law, it has no basis in civil law under which this would be argued.
In civil law if the jury completely disregarded the facts / the law to the point that the judge believes that no reasonable jury could have reached the decision they did, the judge would be likely to enter a judgement not withstanding verdict whereby he or she basically says "I know what the jury said but they're wrong".

- dredmorbius 14y agoThanks. I should've known that, really. Was looking for the civil equivalent of a finding for a party that would tend to go against the apparent legal facts of a case. I'm not sure how much faith I put in juries, but sometimes they do the right thing.
