| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: 1. Whether Plaintiff, Laura R. Albrecht (Laura), must lose the case as a matter of law because "some showing of damages is essential in order to make out a prima facie case in this type of action." 2. Whether Laura must lose the case as a matter of law because she "offered absolutely no evidence establishing damages, and it would require speculation, conjecture, and surmise by the court to order an award of damages." 3. Whether nominal damages can be lawfully denied to Laura when the denial was based upon mistaken interpretations of the legal questions presented in issues #1 and #2. Appellee's Statement of the Issues: Whether the district court abused its discretion when it denied a motion for new trial that failed to meet the particularity requirement, that acknowledged sufficient evidence of damages for a prima facie case had not been presented, and that, on appeal, raises issues not raised in the motion. | ||||||
