Locklear Dodge City, Inc. v. Kimbrell
Supreme Court of Alabama
1Opinion of the Court
Locklear Dodge City, Inc. ("Locklear"), appeals the trial court's denial of its motion for a judgment as a matter of law (a judgment formerly known as a judgment notwithstanding the verdict; see Rule 50, Ala. R. Civ. P.) or, in the alternative, a new trial, following a jury verdict awarding the plaintiff, Dorothy Ann Kimbrell, $150,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. Mrs. Kimbrell had alleged in her complaint that Locklear had fraudulently suppressed the fact that the used automobile she purchased from Locklear had previously been involved in two accidents.
