Swanson v. Handelin
Disputes between subcontractor Larry Swanson, doing business as Swansons Painting (Swanson), and general contractor Handelin, Inc., doing business as Original Construction (Handelin), led to this action by Swanson against Handelin for breach of contract, quantum meruit recovery, and promissory estoppel. By special verdict, a jury awarded damages of $50,400. The court denied Handelin a motion for new trial premised on jury irregularity, misconduct, excessive damages, and insufficient evidence. (Code Civ. Proc., 657, subds. 1-2, 5-6.) Handelin appeals, reiterating its motion arguments. Court affirm the judgment.
