Heading: Did the trial court properly include in the special verdict form whether Durkin or Dakota were due any amounts?

Text: Durkin argues the district court erred by asking the jury whether Durkin or Dakota were due any amounts. He asserts the only claim before the jury was the million dollar bonus on the Meridian project. Therefore, by asking whether any amounts were due led the jury to believe they were deciding other issues and thus prejudicing Durkin. The only counterclaim tried by the parties was whether Durkin and/or Dakota were entitled to a million dollar bonus on the Meridian project. The question in the special verdict form did not confuse the jury and therefore, we do not find any error on this issue. Le'Gall, 129 Idaho at 185, 923 P.2d at 430.
