Britton v. Riggs CA2/7
Plaintiff Layne Leslie Britton filed suit against defendants Conrad Riggs and Cloudbreak Entertainment, Inc. for various claims arising out of an alleged breach of contract, seeking more than $14 million in damages. Riggs and Cloudbreak cross-complained against Britton for legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. After trial on Britton’s claims for breach of contract and money had and received, the jury returned a special verdict in favor of Britton on both claims, and awarded him a total of $489,850 in damages. The trial court thereafter granted in part, and denied in part, a motion for a new trial filed by Britton. The parties appeal from various orders entered by the trial court. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the trial court’s order on the motion for a new trial, and dismiss the parties’ respective appeals from the remaining challenged orders.
