Description
A jury awarded plaintiff Andrew Parker $25,000 actual damages and $150,000 punitive damages on his claim that defendant Color Tile Supermart, Inc., maliciously prosecuted him under the City of St. Ann, Missouri, bad check ordinance. However, the trial Judge concluded plaintiff had failed to make a submissible case and set the verdict aside, sustaining defendants motion for judgment in accordance with its motion for a directed verdict at the close of all the evidence. The trial Judge further ordered that in the event of a reversal on appeal, plaintiff must agree to remit most of the actual and punitive damages awarded or face a new trial on the issue of damages. Plaintiffs points on appeal assert the submissibility of his case and the impropriety of the ordered remittitur. We hold plaintiff failed to make a submissible case of malicious prosecution, and so do not review the remittitur ordered.
