Boatmen's Bank of Butler v. Berwald

COVINGTON, Judge.

This is an appeal by Boatmen’s Bank of Butler from a judgment entered in favor of Allen B. and Shirley A. Berwald for $50,-000 actual and $100,000 punitive damages on a counterclaim for prima facie tort in response to Boatmen’s action to recover the unpaid principal balance on a promissory note. In addition to the verdict in favor of the Berwalds, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Bank for the unpaid principal balance of the note. The Bank also appeals from the trial court’s refusal to amend the judgment in favor of the Bank to include interest and attorney’s fees.
