Huene v. Guarantee Financial Real Estate
Each side appeals from a judgment for damages after a jury trial. Defendants’ appeal challenges the trial court’s resolution of ambiguity in the verdicts and the award of attorney fees. Plaintiffs’ cross-appeal contends the court erred in denying plaintiffs’ motion for new trial based on inadequacy of the award of damages or, alternatively, the judgment should be amended to a greater amount. Court reversed the damages portion of the judgment due to ambiguity of the verdicts and remanded for a new trial on damages. Additionally, court determined that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorney fees; on remand, the court will be empowered to again award attorney fees.
