Kluver, et al. v. SGJ Holdings, et al.
Annotate this CaseDefendants appealed a judgment and order denying their motion for a new trial after a jury found in favor of plaintiffs on their claims of breach of contract, conversion, deceit, defamation, and unlawful interference with business. The district court quieted title in plaintiff Seven Star Holdings. Defendants argued: (1) the court erred by failing to decide whether a joint venture existed and in quieting title; (2) there was insufficient evidence supporting the jury verdict on the claims of breach of contract, conversion, defamation, and unlawful interference with business; and (3) the verdict violated the law of comparative fault. After review, the North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed, concluding defendants waived their arguments on joint venture, quiet title, breach of contract, and comparative fault; and the court did not abuse its discretion in determining the verdict was not manifestly against the weight of the evidence and rejecting the defendants’ new trial motion.
