Shaw v. Schlaifer CA2/4
In the underlying action, a jury awarded $56,000 in compensatory damages to respondent Jeff Shaw in his action for breach of fiduciary duty and conversion against appellants Eric Schlaifer and Bandit RC, LLC (Bandit). Appellants challenge the judgment on the ground of insufficiency of the evidence, evidentiary error, and error in the trial court’s rulings on appellants’ post-judgment motions. They also allege inconsistency in the jury’s special verdicts. While we reject the first three challenges, we conclude that the special verdicts are irreconcilably inconsistent. Accordingly, we reverse.
