Description
Richard and June Weber, plaintiffs and respondents, filed this action in the Seventeenth Judicial District, in and for Valley County, on February 7, 1974, seeking damages for contract benefits and wrongful cancellation by Blue Cross on their medical plan contract. On September 19, 1977, the case was transferred to the Eighth Judicial District in Cascade County. On February 9, 1979, Webers moved to add punitive damages for fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and bad faith to their original complaint. Shortly before trial Webers also sought to add an additional claim alleging violation of the Montana Insurance Code. The case was tried June 23 through 27, 1980, and the district judge allowed the case to go to the jury on all issues of liability. The jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs for every dollar in compensatory damages sought, $157,137, and for all but one dollar of the punitive damages, $999,999. Blue Cross filed motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and to amend or alter the judgment, all of which were denied. Blue Cross now appeals.
