Description
This appeal arises out of a dispute over a diesel generator which was purchased at a military surplus property disposal auction. At trial both parties claimed that they had purchased the generator, but the jury found that Calvin Campbell, the appellee, was entitled to possession. Appellants Ben Lomond, Inc. and Bobby Jones (hereafter Lomond), who had taken possession of the generator initially, were assessed $13,000.00 in loss of use damages and $50,000.00 in punitive damages, in addition to being required to transfer the generator to Campbell. Lomond argues in this appeal that (1) the jury instructions regarding these damages were erroneous, (2) the damages were not supported by the evidence, and (3) the damages, even if supported by the evidence, were excessive. We affirm.
