Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This complex action arises from the contractual relationships
between an automobile dealership (Suburban Ford), its source of
financing of inventory under a floor plan agreement (Ford Motor
Credit Company), and its supplier of automobiles and parts (Ford
Motor Company). The individuals named as parties to the action
(Ben W. Young, Margaret C. Young, Don W. Hansard and Linda M.
Hansard) are: (1) sued herein as guarantors of the contracts on
behalf of Suburban Ford; and (2) seeking damages for themselves
for claimed injury to Suburban Ford and for tortious interference
with their contract which leased real estate to Suburban. The
action between Ford Motor Credit and Suburban (Case No. 81-C-637)
and the action between Ford Motor Company and Suburban (Case No.
81-C-1314) were consolidated for trial. The jury awarded the
following: (1) in favor of Ford Motor Company รข€” $194,000; (2) in
favor of Ford Motor Credit Company รข€” $214,000; (3) in favor of
the individual defendants (against Ford Motor Credit) รข€” $365,662; [237 Kan. 196]
and (4) in favor of Suburban Ford (against Ford Motor Credit) รข€”
$61,300 in actual damages and $1,750,000 in punitive damages.
Ford Motor Credit appeals from the judgments entered against it
and certain rulings of the trial court. The defendants (Suburban
Ford and the named individuals) cross-appeal from certain adverse
rulings of the trial court limiting their claims. No issues from
Ford Motor Company v. Suburban Ford, et al. (Case No.
81-C-1314) are before us on appeal. We are concerned wholly with
Ford Motor Credit Company (FMCC) v. Suburban Ford, et al. (Case
No. 81-C-637).
