Court of Appeals of Oregon December 22, 1982, No. 78-12-236, CA A21758 (Committee of One Thousand to Re-Elect State Senator Walt Brown v. Eivers)

WARREN, J.

Plaintiff, a political committee, filed this action for damages under the Oregon Corrupt Practices Act. ORS 260.532. The jury awarded both compensatory and punitive damages. Defendant appeals and raises several assignments of error. Because we conclude that defendant was entitled to a directed verdict on one of several grounds urged, we reverse.
