A-25-0244, Jered Dworak and Marantha Sales Group LLC (Appellees) v. Shamrock Hills, LLC (Appellant)
Lancaster County, District Court Judge Kevin R. McManaman
Attorney for Appellant: Heather Voegele (Voegele Anson Law Firm)
Attorney for Appellees: Brian S. Koerwitz (Peetz Koerwitz Law firm)
Civil Action: Breach of Contract
Actions Taken by Trial Court: During the jury instruction conference, Appellant objected to jury instruction no. 8 regarding the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The court overruled the objection. At the close of the jury trial, Appellant moved for a directed verdict which the court denied. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Appellees. The Appellees made a post-verdict motion asserting a claim of prejudgment interest which the court awarded. Appellant moved to set aside judgment and for a new trial which the court denied.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Did the district court err in their failing to include additional language in instruction no. 8, in the amount of prejudgment interest it awarded, in denying the Appellant’s motion for directed verdict on Appellees’ breach of contract claim, or in denying Appellant’s motion to vacate judgment and for a new trial?
