Before the Court En Banc.

OPINION

SHEARING, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment on a jury verdict in an action for battery and false imprisonment awarding compensatory and punitive damages and from the denial of a motion for a new trial. Appellants' principal argument is that the corporation is not liable for punitive damages based on the actions of its security officers. We agree, but affirm the remainder of the judgment and the order denying a new trial.
