			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Default Judgment. Ps Presented Insufficient Evidence Of Damages.</strong></p>
<p>Restricted appeal from a no-answer default judgment. The Court of Appeals<br />
reversed &amp; remanded on the issue of unliquidated damages, finding that<br />
there is no evidence of at least 1 possible damage element as to each of<br />
the 3 lump-sum awards in this auto accident case. Further, because the<br />
trial court did not specify the damage elements it was awarding in it<br />
judgment, &amp; the record does not provide any means for distinguishing the<br />
amounts awarded for each element of damage, the Court could not determine<br />
whether the trial court awarded damages based on the elements as to which<br />
there is no evidence.</p>
<p>The full-text court opinion is available at:<br />
