Description

Plaintiff carpenters claimed penalties for late payment of wages due under a working agreement with James Hoselton, d/b/a Hoselton Framing (Hoselton), subcontractor, and W.D. OConnell, and Donald Bennett, d/b/a Bennett Builders (Bennett), the prime contractor. Bennett cross-claimed against Aetna Casualty &; Surety Co. (Aetna) for failure to pay Bennett as required by a labor and materials bond issued to Hoselton as subcontractor, requesting punitive damages and attorneys fees because of Aetnas alleged bad faith. The District Court of Deer Lodge County awarded $4,176.48 to plaintiff carpenters, and $35,534.12 damages plus $100,000.00 in punitive damages to Bennett, plus attorneys fees, which were not initially determined. There were extensive post-judgment - Page 417 motions to amend findings and judgment, for new trial, and for relief from findings, conclusions and judgment. Appeal follows denials of all of these motions. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
