******OFF TOPIC****** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jurors return $27 million verdict against poultry company April 10, 1999 Web posted at: 11:57 PM EDT (0357 GMT) TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- A man who said Perdue Farms Inc. betrayed a confidentiality agreement and stole his secret method of preparing roasted chicken was awarded $27 million by a jury. It is now up to a judge to decide how much the nation's third-largest poultry company must pay to Dennis P. Hook in punitive damages. The jury awarded the compensatory damages on Friday. Judge Robert H. Bonanno must also decide whether to halt Perdue's marketing and sale of TenderReady chicken Hook said Perdue's TenderReady chicken was based on his idea. The method of preparation worked on much the same principle as boil-in-the-bag vegetables. The chicken was fully cooked and could be heated quickly -- important qualities in the fast-food industry. Hook had an agreement with Pizza Hut in the early 1990s to develop his method. Pizza Hut turned to Perdue for poultry. Hook said he demonstrated his process to Perdue, and the company signed a confidentiality agreement which he claimed they then broke. Copyright 1999 The Associated Press

Sorry, made a mistake there: the defense attorney questioning Quiel was Semenza of JB Oxford, not Montal of the DTC. As it happens, Quiel got them mixed up in person. Montal questioning Quiel: 18 Q. Have you ever heard of a firm, J. B. Oxford? 19 A. Yes. As a matter of fact one of my firms almost went to 20 clearing with you before you -- it became J. B. Oxford and you 21 were Autre. 22 Q. Well, I don't know what you mean by referring to 'you' but 23 I do not represent J. B. Oxford, but thank you.
