USA National Title Co. v. Cayton CA4/3
USA National Title Company, Inc. (USA National or USA) appeals from the trial court’s order denying its motion for judgment nothwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) or a new trial after the jury rejected its breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and misappropriation of confidential information and trade secrets claims against its former vice president, Robert Edward Cayton. The jury also rejected Cayton’s cross-claim that USA National committed fraud in the inducement when it lured him to USA from his sales manager position at another title insurance company, but the jury found in Cayton’s favor on his breach of contract cross-claim against USA National, and awarded him $50,000 in damages.
