John Koutoufaris and Marlene Koutoufaris by Supreme Court of Delaware Book Summary

WALSH, Justice: This is an appeal from a decision of the Superior Court that denied motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict ("judgment
n.o.v.") and/or the grant of a new trial following a jury award of $600,000 for an assault and abduction suffered by plaintiff-appellee,
Deborah Dick. The incident giving rise to plaintiff's claim occurred in the parking lot adjacent to her place of employment,
Blue Coat Inn ("BCI") in Dover. The jury determined that the assault resulted from the failure of the owners of the lot, John
and Marlene Koutoufaris and Roger Keith, to provide adequate lighting and security. Post-trial, the trial Judge absolved Keith
of liability but refused to disturb the verdict as to the Koutoufarises. The Koutoufarises appeal from the denial of judgment
n.o.v. or a new trial. Plaintiff cross-appeals from the granting of judgment n.o.v. in favor of Keith and the earlier grant
of summary judgment regarding punitive damages. We conclude that there was no error in the trial court's post-trial rulings
or in its earlier granting of summary judgment. Accordingly, we affirm.
