Guiboa v. Pepperidge Farm
Plaintiff James M. Guiboa appeals from a defense judgment in this case arising from a consignment agreement under which he distributed goods produced by defendant Pepperidge Farm, Inc. Guiboa argues the trial court erred in granting nonsuit on his cause of action for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and for punitive damages. He also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury’s verdict that Pepperidge Farm was not required to pay him the fair market value of his distributorship following the termination of the consignment agreement for cause. He asserts that on remand, the jury should decide his cause of action for conversion and the court should decide his cause of action for unfair business practices under Business and Professions Code section 17200.
We find no basis for reversal and affirm.
