South Dakota Supreme Court

1Opinion of the Court

MEIERHENRY, Justice.

[¶ 1.] Tate and Sarah Schipporeit (Schipporeits) brought suit against Gha-zanfar Khan claiming breach of contract, conversion, and fraudulent misrepresentation. Schipporeits sought compensatory and punitive damages. A jury found in favor of Schipporeits on all claims and awarded compensatory and punitive damages. Khan asserts that the conversion and fraudulent misrepresentation claims, along with the punitive damages request, should have been dismissed because the claims were not independent torts apart from the breach of contract claim. We agree and reverse.
