HOFFMAN, Judge,
concurring in result and dissenting.
I concur in result except as to paragraph “V. Damages” to which I dissent.
The court was required to make special findings of- fact and conclusions of law pursuant to the request of Emily Bedree and Mary Bedree.
At the appellate level of review, these findings and conclusions bind the court. It cannot look to the record to inhance the findings.
The findings of the trial court do not contain any facts which could sustain a money judgment. No facts show any injury or any amount of damages. No facts demonstrate clear and convincing evidence to support a punitive damage award and the court did not find that punitive damages would be proper.
The award of damages should be reversed.
