Douglas County District Court, Judge James T. Gleason
Civil: Directed Verdict; Conversion; Tortious Interference
Proceedings Below: Appellant brought suit against Appellee for breach of contract, conversion, and tortious interference. Following a jury trial, Appellee moved for a directed verdict at the close of the plaintiff’s case. The district court granted the motion for directed verdict on all the causes of action and dismissed the case.
Issues: Whether the district court erred in 1) granting the directed verdict for conversion and tortious interference; 2) finding there was no evidence of assets converted or the value thereof; and 3) finding that a business entity ceased to exist when the physical location is closed.
