Syed Umar Husainy v. Granite Management, LLC, and Jaffa Varsity 1, LLC
18A-PL-2752
Civil plenary. Affirms the Tippecanoe Superior Court’s denial of Granite Management LLC and Jaffa Varsity 1 LLC’s motion to correct error on a jury verdict in favor of Syed Husainy on his claim under Indiana Code § 32-31-8-5, but reverses the grant of the appellees’ motion to correct error on the jury verdict in Husainy’s favor on his breach of covenant claim. Finds the trial court abused its discretion in granting the motion to correct error on the breach claim but did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to correct error on the statutory claim. Also finds the trial court abused its discretion in awarding Husainy only $2,000 in attorney’s fees. Finally, finds Husainy has waived his argument that the trial judge was biased against him and should have disqualified himself. Remands to reinstate the jury’s verdict on the breach claim, and to reconsider Husainy’s request for fees.
