Wedmore v. Jordan Motors, Inc.
Indiana Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
RUCKER, Judge.
Appellant-plaintiff Jack Wedmore appeals a trial court judgment ordering him to remit $380,000.00 of a $400,000.00 punitive damage award or suffer a new trial. Wedmore raises two issues for our review which we rephrase as:
1) Whether the trial court's order granting either remittitur or a new trial complies with Ind. Trial Rule 59(J)(7).
2) Whether the trial court erred in reducing Wedmore's $400,000.00 punitive damage award to $20,000.00.
