Amerco V. Shoen

This suit by a corporation against participants in a failed takeover attempt is one of many battles in the ongoing Shoen family war for control of the U-Haul corporate empire. After a five week trial, the jury returned verdicts for defendants, rejecting claims that defendants had violated their fiduciary duty to the corporation. On appeal, the corporation attacks the trial court's jury instructions, evidentiary rulings, and refusal to permit the jury to consider nominal damages. We find no reversible error and affirm.
