Description
Forrest K. Grider and nine other partners in several oil and gas limited partnerships (Plaintiffs) sued The Boston Company, Inc. (Boston), its successors and subsidiaries (collectively Defendants) for, inter alia, recovery of claimed excessive administrative and professional fees charged to the respective partnerships. The trial court entered a judgment non obstante veredicto for Defendants, disregarding a jury verdict for Plaintiffs awarding almost $750,000 in actual damages and $250,000 in punitive damages. In twelve points of error, Plaintiffs challenge the take nothing judgment rendered by the court including the denial of punitive damages, attorneys fees and interest; Plaintiffs also complain that the judge should have recused himself, that the trial court erred in releasing the parent companies prior to final judgment, and that the court erred in failing to certify the suit as a class action under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 42. For the reasons recited below, we affirm the trial courts judgment.
