Heading: Challenges to the Award of Damages Pursuant to the Breach-of-Contract, Conversion, and Breach-of-Fiduciary-Duty Claims

Text: Because of our disposition of the fraud claim in Part IV.E. of this opinion, where we uphold the award of compensatory and punitive damages made as a result of a finding for the plaintiffs on that claim, as adjusted to eliminate duplication of damages, we pretermit consideration of the challenges to the award of the same damages under the breach-of-contract, conversion, and breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims. Even if we upheld every challenge the News makes to those claims and disallowed any recovery under them, the same recoveries separately sustainable under the fraud claim would, in the final analysis, leave the awards fully intact.
