Description

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BERNALILLO COUNTY Robert Hayes Scott, District Judge {1} Defendant, an automobile dealership, appeals from a judgment on a jury verdict in a motor vehicle accident case awarding Plaintiff punitive damages and from the district court's award of costs. Defendant raises five issues on appeal: (1) there was insufficient evidence to support the award of punitive damages; (2) the district court's instructions on punitive damages constituted reversible error; (3) it was reversible error to deny Defendant's request for a limiting instruction with respect to the post-accident dishonesty of its employee; (4) the punitive damage award violated due process; and (5) the district court abused its discretion in awarding costs. {2} We hold that substantial evidence supports the jury's award of punitive damages, but because the district court's instructions on punitive damages constituted reversible error, we reverse and remand for a new trial on that issue. We reverse the costs award in part and remand for reconsideration.
