Description

Plaintiff-appellant Grantham and Mann, Inc. ("Grantham") appeals the district court's judgment notwithstanding the verdict ("j.n.o.v.") in favor of defendants-appellees American Safety Products, Inc. ("ASP") and three of its corporate officers following a jury verdict finding that the defendants had breached a contract with Grantham. This diversity case also involved allegations of unfair trade practices and a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968 (1982). Grantham contends on appeal that the district court erred in finding that the jury's award of damages was too speculative to be sustained, in granting a directed verdict in favor of the defendants on its RICO claim, in granting summary judgment to ASP on its claims brought pursuant to the North Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act ("N.C. Act") and the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), and in excluding certain evidence during the course of trial. We hold that deficiencies in Grantham's proof of damages warranted the district court's grant of j.n.o.v. to ASP on the breach of contract claim and its treatment of Grantham's proof of damages warranted the district court's grant of j.n.o.v. to ASP on the breach of contract claim and its treatment of Grantham's RICO and N.C. Act claims. In addition, we conclude that a reasonable fact-finder could not have found that the alleged RICO violations caused any injury Grantham might have sustained, that the corporation was an improper party to initiate a private suit under the TCPA, and that errors in the trial court's evidentiary rulings, if any, were harmless. Accordingly, we affirm the district court in all respects.
