Could the Verdict Be Struck Down?
John Flemming, the attorney for Indian Pond, told The Boston Globe following the decision, “I’m extremely confident that the injunction will be struck down.” “In my opinion, as a matter of law, the verdict of $3.5 million for alleged emotional distress is against the weight of the evidence,” he said.
The golf course has yet another issue, too. Although their insurance would pay for the property damages, the main majority of the enormous amount was made up of payments for emotional damages, which were not covered by their plan. Would Indian Pond Country Club go bankrupt if it had to make the payment?
