GODDARD, Presiding Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur in the majority opinion as to all of the issues raised same the one addressing punitive damages.
Upon viewing the proof in a fight most favorable to the Plaintiffs and indulging all reasonable inferences in their favor, I cannot find — at the time the motion for a *228directed verdict as to punitive damages was made and sustained — this to be “the most egregious of cases” or that any intentional, fraudulent, malicious or reckless conduct by the Defendant has been shown by clear and convincing evidence. Hodges v. S.C. Toof & Co., 833 S.W.2d 896 (Tenn.1992).
