Description

Hal Coffel (Coffel) appeals the trial courts modification of a jurys verdict in a civil conversion action brought by Lloyd Perry (Perry). Perrys complaint was in two counts. Count I alleged tortious conversion of two root rakes.[Footnote 1] Count II alleged Coffels conduct also constituted criminal conversion, I.C. 35-43-4-3 (Burns Code Ed., Repl. 1979), and therefore warranted treble damages under I.C. 34-4-30-1 (Burns Code Ed., Supp. 1982). A jury awarded Perry $1200.00 on Count I, but found against Perry on Count II. The trial court granted Perrys motion to correct errors, entered judgment on the evidence on Count I increasing the award to $4,750.00, and entered judgment for Perry on Count II for treble damages ($14,250.00), attorney fees and costs. On appeal, Coffel challenges the modification of the jurys verdicts under Trial Rule 59(J) as a confusion of the standards for judgment on the evidence and the grant of a new trial. We reverse.
