           Counsel for Tenant objected as follows: “I‟m going to object to the line
of questioning if they‟re going to argue is how the value of the building was
affected by BLT not doing improvements. I am [not] aware of any case authority
that says when somebody sells a building, even if – of the lease – they can recover
as damages whatever [e]ffect they might try to claim not doing damages but – not
doing build-out‟s. Apparently − come to sale any further claim of damages or
rents is cut off as of that date.”

1991) (new trial may be warranted if jury “verdict is so unreasonably high as to
result in a miscarriage of justice”).
