Description
Dr. E. M. Gherman, M.D. (Gherman), John A. Patterson (Patterson), and Laurie Lane Corporation, a California corporation, filed (on Oct. 13, 1970) a third amended complaint against Richard D. Colburn (Colburn), Rolled Alloys, a Delaware corporation, and Big Bear Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and other defendants for: "(1) Damages for tortious exclusion of joint venturer and punitive damages; (2) For dissolution of joint venture, accounting and a receiver; (3) For declaratory relief; (4) Fraud." On August 31, 1973, plaintiffs filed a request for partial dismissal requesting the dismissal of the second cause of action ("For dissolution of joint venture and a receiver") and the third cause of action ("For declaratory relief"). Trial commenced on October 2, 1973, and on that date defendants filed a written motion requesting leave to file a cross-complaint seeking a judicial dissolution and accounting, which was denied on October 4, 1973. After 34 days of trial and 4 days of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the named plaintiffs against the named defendants in the sum of $1,256,845, with interest at 7 percent per annum from June 1, 1969, which amounted to an additional $395,906.18. The jury assessed punitive damages against Colburn at zero dollars. Defendants appeal from the judgment.
