Contradictory Evidence of Damages Sinks Default Judgment Award
November 10, 2014In this restricted appeal of a default judgment, the Court found (among other things) insufficient evidence to support damages on a suit for breach of contract and on a sworn account. The Court based its holding on the fact that there was contradictory information among the petition, the documents attached to the petition, and the business records filed. In particular, the Court noted that there was no evidence of any amount owed by the defendant to the plaintiff.
