1Opinion of the Court
COBB, Judge.
The appellant, Equico Lessors, Inc. (Equico), sued Maruka Machinery Corporation of America (Maruka) for conversion and punitive damages. The issue on this appeal is whether the trial court erred in granting Maruka’s motion for a directed verdict at the conclusion of the evidence presented at trial.
Given the directed verdict against Equico, we must view the facts adduced at trial in the light most favorable to it, as the jury would have been entitled to do. Dania Jai-Alai Palace, Inc. v. Sykes, 450 So.2d 1114, 1121 (Fla.1984); Riccio v. Allstate Insurance Company, 357 So.2d 420,…
