Description
The Hoopers filed a civil action against Truly Nolen of America, Inc., Robert Hartley, the technical director for TNA, and William Sample, the manager of the Phoenix office. The complaint alleged negligence, nuisance, racketeering, and intentional infliction of emotional distress by Nationwide related to its remedial efforts. A directed verdict was granted in favor of the individual defendants on all counts except negligence. A directed verdict was granted in favor of plaintiff against TNA on the nuisance and negligence claims and the jury was instructed to award compensatory and punitive damages on these counts. The instruction on punitive damages was given over objection by the corporate defendant. The jury was also instructed that the existence of an agency relationship between TNA and Nationwide was a question of fact and that the jury could only address the claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress if it found that Nationwide was the agent of TNA.
