Description

The Trandes Corporation brought this diversity suit against the Guy F. Atkinson Company (Atkinson) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Trandes alleged that WMATA improperly disclosed and Atkinson improperly acquired and used the "Tunnel System." The Tunnel System is a computer program written by Trandess president, James Brusse, to perform survey calculations for the construction of subway tunnels. After a three day trial, the district court submitted five issues to the jury: (1) whether WMATA breached its contract with Trandes, (2) whether WMATA breached its fiduciary duties to Trandes, (3) whether WMATA misappropriated Trandess trade secrets, (4) whether Atkinson misappropriated Trandess trade secrets, and (5) whether Atkinsons actions had been willful, wanton, and malicious. The jury found for Trandes on each claim and awarded $17,400 in compensatory damages. The jury also found that Atkinsons actions had been willful, wanton, and malicious and accordingly awarded Trandes $750,000 in punitive damages.
