This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Ps sought recovery of a note due from D in the sum of $2826.29; the recovery of a Ford Econoline van which D was to have contributed to the capital of the corporation; and the value of other property allegedly misappropriated by D. D answered by way of a general denial except as to the note in question, to which he alleged a failure of consideration and, in addition, counterclaimed for double damages for wages oppressively and maliciously withheld from him by the corporation; expenses incurred during employment; failure of the corporation to pay obligations allegedly assumed; the value of certain property of nominal value, the return of which he claims was wrongfully denied; and for slander by Larson. (P). The corporation got the judgment on the note and interest, offset by partial failure of consideration, together with the value of the van which D had sold, title having never been transferred to the corporation, and for D on his counterclaim for wages only without awarding double damages and the sum of $1.00 against Larson (P) because of his slanderous statements. D appealed in part on the inadequate damages for slander.
