quotient verdict

One in which jurors cannot agree on an award, such as for a contested condemnation. They agree to each write down the amount they think should be awarded, and then someone takes the average of all those numbers.By agreement among themselves,the jury awards the average amount to the plaintiff. (Quotient verdicts are illegal and may be set aside if the jurors were foolhardy enough to leave their slips of paper and calculations in the jury room when they depart.)
