FAIRCHILD, Senior Circuit Judge. This is an appeal and cross-appeal from a judgment against appellants International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT), and Flygt Corporation (Flygt), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITT, in favor of H.J., Inc. (H.J.). H.J. alleged violations by Flygt and ITT of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and state common law claims of conversion and misappropriation, interference with customers and business, breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, and an ""alternate count"" alleging a violation of Connecticut franchise law. The case was submitted to the jury on a detailed special verdict. The jury answered in favor of H.J. The Honorable Diana E. Murphy entered judgment in favor of H.J. for $1,841,000, reflecting the trebling of one of the larger of two antitrust damage findings. Flygt and ITT appeal, arguing that it was error to deny their motions for directed verdict and judgment n.o.v. H.J. cross-appeals, arguing that the judgment should have reflected additional damage awards, and that its application for attorney's fees and costs should not have been denied as untimely.
