The blockhouse was to be used as a retail showroom and warehouse by P in furtherance of his carpet and furniture business. P was unable to use the structure because of recurring moisture problems on the inside of one of the walls. P sued for compensatory and punitive damages. P was awarded $8,711.69 in compensatory damages and $6,500 in punitive damages. The court of appeals affirmed the compensatory award but struck the punitive damages award.
