Description
Plaintiff-appellee, James L. Palmer, brought suit against defendant-appellant, Allan B. Wright, for failure to pay amounts due on a promissory note. The defendant counterclaimed, seeking various setoffs on the promissory note together with damages for the breach of an alleged covenant not to compete and for unfair competition. While the claims for breach of the covenant not to compete and for unfair competition had originally belonged to a corporation, these had been assigned by the corporation to the defendant prior to trial. The trial court directed verdicts in favor of the plaintiff on these latter two issues raised by defendant's counterclaim. The jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for the stipulated amount due under the promissory note and attorney's fees in the sum of $21,332.04 and in favor of the defendant in the sum of $3,500.00 on his claim of setoff. The defendant does not raise any issue on appeal as to the correctness of the jury verdict but assigns as error only the trial court's action in granting the directed verdicts.
