Description
1 In this appeal we must decide whether the inclusion of an at-will termination clause in a contract relieves the parties of their duty, under the same contract, to use their best efforts to resolve disputes quickly and amicably. In addition, we must review the sufficiency of the evidence underlying the jurys award of punitive damages. Finally, we must determine whether the culpable mental states underlying punitive damages awards are synonymous with "tortious conduct, bad faith, intentional or willful acts," such that the 15 percent post-judgment interest rate set by NMSA 1978, § 56-8-4 (1993), should apply to all punitive damages awards.
