PER CURIAM. *
| ]We granted certiorari in this case to determine (1) whether the court of appeal erred in affirming the judgment of the district court granting plaintiffs’ motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and awarding statutory penalties and attorney fees; and (2) whether the court of appeal erred in reversing the judgment of the district court denying plaintiffs’ motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and increasing the jury’s damage award. For the reasons that follow, we now reverse the court of appeal’s judgment in part.
