Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiffs sued to recover the price of a Mercury automobile
which they alleged they owned and contracted to sell for cash to
the Don Hanna Motor Company, hereinafter called Hanna, which took
the car with the understanding that the cash price would be paid
promptly; that the cash was not paid; that defendant was
financing Hanna and took over its business, received the proceeds
from the sale of the Mercury automobile and converted the same to
its own use, with knowledge of the facts. There was a second
count for punitive damages. The jury answered special questions
and returned a general verdict for plaintiffs on both counts. The
trial court approved the verdict and rendered judgment thereon.
Defendant has appealed. The primary question involved is whether plaintiffs had title
to the car at the time of the alleged conversion. The secondary
questions are (1) whether the proceeds of the car were properly
traced to defendant and (2) whether plaintiffs are entitled to
punitive damages.
