Montana Supreme Court

S. Frost v. K. Frost

September 16, 20252025 MT 210

Summary

The Court affirmed the order granting Sherri Frost a new trial on damages because the jury's award was unsupported by substantial evidence and appeared to compensate only for medical expenses despite uncontradicted evidence of pain and suffering. The Court also affirmed judgment as a matter of law for Frost Ranching Corporation because ratification requires acceptance of a benefit from the agent's wrongful act, and the Ranch received no benefit from the kidnapping. No separate opinions were filed.
