“[T]he better procedure in a case in which it is a close question whether the standard for granting a directed verdict is met is to allow the matter to go to the jury. If the judge then decides that the jury’s verdict cannot stand, a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict may be allowed.” Smith v. Ariens Co., 375 Mass. 620, 627 (1978), citing Soares v. Lakeville Baseball Camp, Inc., 369 Mass. 974, 975 (1976).
