Lew G. Larson, Petitioners v. Cactus Utility Company, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the appellate court's affirmation of a $350,000 remittitur, holding that trial‑court remittitur orders must be reviewed for factual sufficiency, not abuse of discretion, and affirmed that Gentry waived his objection to the Stock Purchase Agreement because he failed to timely object and did not request a limiting instruction. The case was remanded for the appellate court to reconsider the remittitur under the correct standard. Justice Hill dissented, arguing the majority improperly overruled Flanigan.
