Greg Biffle, the former NASCAR driver sued by his ex-wife for invasion of privacy, will have to pay her $250,000 after videos surfaced of her and her mother from cameras secreted in the bedrooms and throughout their North Carolina estate, The Charlotte Observer reported.
Lawyers involved in Nicole Biffle’s invasion of privacy trial told the news outlet that the NASCAR driver’s ex-wife will receive half of the $500,000 awarded this week by a Mecklenburg County jury.
This is because of a cap on “punitive” damages under state law, which limits how much can be awarded.
This came after Nicole Biffle was awarded $1 in compensatory damage by a jury last week.
Nicole Biffle filed a suit alleging that Greg Biffle had installed hidden cameras inside his home, including in the master bedroom as well as the guest bedroom of his former mother-in-law, then showed the video footage to other people, WSOC-TV reported.
Greg Biffle denied any wrongdoing and insisted his former ex-wife knew about the cameras but last week a jury found he did “intrude offensively upon” her “privacy” and ordered him to pay $1 in actual damages, Fox News reported.
At the time, Nicole Biffle’s lawyer said the lawsuit was never about money but about holding Greg Biffle “accountable for the complete violation of her dignity and the right to privacy that should be afforded all persons.”
On Monday the jury issued a punitive damage award but because of a deadlock, Greg Biffle agreed to pay in order to avoid a mistrial, ESPN reported.
At the time the jury was deliberating the punitive damages, it was not aware that North Carolina legislature has a cap on the amount that can be awarded in punitive damages.
The final judgement was for $250,00.
