The jury $($in a $9-3$ vote$)$ awarded Main Line $$7,421,694$ in damages for breach of contract and unanimously added $$1,500,000$ for bad faith denial of the contract. A request for punitive damages of $$1$ million to $$2$ million was denied. Basinger appealed the decision and later filed for bankruptcy protection. In $1994,$ the judgement was reversed on appeal and remanded to the lower court. The Appeals Court concluded that jury instructions failed to draw a sufficient distinction between the liability of Basinger and the liability of her production company, Mighty Wind Productions.
