Description
Plaintiff brought this action for damages for breach of contract, material misrepresentation and fraud. Defendants filed counterclaims for breach of contract and fraud, as well as third-party claims based on those theories. After a jury trial, the court entered judgment on a special verdict awarding plaintiff a lump sum of $27,107,000 in damages for breach of contract and material misrepresentation. The jury rejected plaintiff's fraud claim and all of defendants' counter-and third-party claims. Thereafter, defendants filed alternative motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial. Although the court denied the motion for judgment n.o.v., it concluded that the contract between the parties was unambiguous and was limited to a one-year term, and that it had erred in permitting the jury to decide the duration of the contract. Accordingly, it granted a new trial limited to the issue of plaintiff's damages for one year.
