Walt Disney Co. has asked an appellate court to overturn a $240-million verdict in which jurors decided the company stole an idea for a Walt Disney World sports complex from two businessmen.
In a brief filed in the 5th District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach, Fla., Disney attorneys argued that the verdict should either be reversed or a new trial ordered because of alleged trial errors.
A Florida Orange County Circuit Court jury a year ago found Disney liable for misappropriating a trade secret, conspiracy to misappropriate and fraud.
