Ethel Barry Masters v. Jacob Dawson

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment awarding actual and punitive damages on Masters' replevin claim. It held Dawson's constitutional jury-trial arguments were unpreserved because he did not adequately raise them in his motion for new trial, and it held the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in cancelling the jury trial as a sanction for Dawson's persistent obstructive conduct.
