This ease went to trial on March 13, 2003. After Dunn rested his case, Enterprise moved for a directed verdict with respect to Dunn’s claims that he was wrongfully terminated for refusing to commit an illegal act and for blowing the whistle on Enterprise’s alleged illegal conduct. The trial court initially denied Enterprise’s motions. Several days later, during Enterprise’s presentation of its case, Enterprise renewed its motions for directed verdict on these claims. The trial court reversed its previous rulings and granted Enterprise’s motions for directed verdict. The case was then only submitted to the jury on Dunn’s whistleblowing claim regarding Enterprise’s alleged illegal business practices. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Dunn in the amount of $4,000,000. Enterprise then filed its motion for JNOV and motion for new trial. The trial court granted Enterprise’s motion for JNOV and in the alternative, motion for new trial. This appeal follows.
