United States Seventh Circuit

In an action for fraudulent inducement and breach of contract, district court judgment against defendants is affirmed where: 1) defendant's failure to file a postverdict motion under FRCP Rule 50(b) forfeited all of their claims regarding insufficiency of the evidence; and 2) the court did not abuse its discretion when instructing the jury during the damages phase; and 3) the defendants failed to properly preserve an objection to the court's decision to not give the Party-In-Interest jury instruction during the liability phase of the trial.
