California Court of Appeal

Denial of defendants' motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, denial of defendants' motion for a new trial, and the granting of contractual attorney fees to plaintiffs is affirmed, where: 1) the trial court's use of the singular "contract" in its jury instructions and its interpretation of the plaintiffs' contract as including an implied term of proper installation was not legal error; 2) because defendants have not otherwise shown the absence of evidence supporting the jury's verdict, there was no error in denying defendants' motions; and 3) it was not an abuse of discretion for plaintiffs, as prevailing party, to be awarded attorney fees.
