Description
Robert Jenkins sued Revolution Helicopter Corporation, Inc., ("RHC") to recover money RHC allegedly owed him. RHC then filed a five-count counterclaim against Mr. Jenkins, alleging, inter alia, that Mr. Jenkins made slanderous statements about the company on two occasions, and that Mr. Jenkins filing of his petition constituted an abuse of process. At the close of all the evidence the trial court entered a directed verdict in favor of Mr. Jenkins on the abuse of process claim. On RHCs claim for slander which involved two submissions to the jury, the jury found in favor of RHC, assessed its actual damages at zero dollars, and found that RHC was entitled to punitive damages. Because the jury did not assess any actual damages, the trial court ordered that RHC "recover naught" on each of its submissions on its slander count.
