United States Seventh Circuit
Prod. Specialties Group, Inc. v. Minsor Sys., Inc., 06-3297
In a suit alleging breach of contract and fraud in the inducement regarding the production of a machine to manufacture auto parts, denial of defendants' motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict is affirmed where: 1) defendant failed to preserve its economic loss argument; 2) an erroneous burden of proof instruction did not constitute plain error; and 3) the district court did not err in giving a punitive damages instruction because there was sufficient evidence to show that defendant intentionally disregarded plaintiff's rights.
