The opinion

John I. Purtle, Justice, dissenting. I believe the majority is wrong in reinstating the $2,000 award for compensatory damages. Rule 59(a)(5), ARCP allows for amendment of judgments where there is “error in the assessment of the amount of recovery, whether too large or too small.” It is my opinion that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in reducing the compensatory damages and I would affirm the judgment as entered.
