Description
In this action plaintiff alleged that defendant unlawfully took possession of his truck (tractor) and towed it in a manner that caused it to be badly damaged. He sought actual damages in the sum of $2,900 and $15,000 for punitive damages. The trial resulted in a verdict for plaintiff in the amount of $2,500 actual and $13,000 punitive damages. As a condition for overruling the motion for new trial the court required a remittitur of $1,612.46 of the actual and $2,000 of the punitive damages. Plaintiff filed the remittitur and a final judgment was entered for plaintiff in the sum of $887.54 as actual damages and $11,000 as punitive damages, an aggregate of $11,887.54. Defendant appealed to the Kansas City Court of Appeals and that court adopted an opinion affirming the judgment. Upon defendants application, we ordered the case transferred to this court and it will be determined here "the same as on original appeal." Civil Rule 84.05(h), V.A.M.R.; Mo. Const. Art. V, § 10 (1945), V.A.M.S.
