Conrad v. Montgomery-Sansome LP
Appellant Jeffrey A. Conrad sued his former employer, Montgomery-Sansome LP (Montgomery-Sansome) and one of its partners, Leonard Nordeman (collectively, defendants) for various claims, including breach of contract, unpaid wages, fraud, and wrongful constructive termination in violation of public policy. A jury rendered a verdict for Conrad on all claims and awarded him $1,005,002, which included $450,000 in punitive damages. In an amended judgment, the court entered judgment for Conrad on the claims for breach of contract, wrongful constructive termination, and punitive damages and awarded him $705,001.
Defendants moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) on Conrads wrongful constructive termination claim and on punitive damages. Defendants also moved for a new trial on punitive damages. The court denied the JNOV motion but granted the motion for new trial.
