O.D. King v. P. Adams

BRADLEY, Judge.

The parties to this appeal are coterminous landowners. Irene P. Adams sued 0. D. King in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County for draining across her land two ponds located on his property, causing her property to flood. She alleged that as a consequence of his action she lost an opportunity to sell the property. After trial a jury returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Adams, awarding her no compensatory damages but $500.00 punitive damages and ordering Mr. King to reseal the two ponds within eight months’ time. Mr. King appeals.
