Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action for breach of an employment contract. Dean R. Lessley, plaintiff, recovered a judgment against defendants Samuel A. Hardage and three Hardage corporations following a jury trial in Sedgwick District Court. Defendants appealed, and we ordered the case transferred to this court pursuant to K.S.A. 20-3018(c). Defendants contend that the trial court erred in overruling defense motions for summary judgment and directed verdict. Involved therein are the questions of whether there was an enforceable contractual obligation upon defendants to pay plaintiff cash bonuses and, if so, whether under the evidence plaintiff is entitled to recover on claims arising out of the Wichita Royale and the Beacon Building projects. It is a familiar rule that when the sufficiency of the evidence to support the judgment is challenged on appeal, we review the evidence in the light most favorable to the party who prevailed at trial.
