Branch, Judge.In an earlier appearance of this case in this Court, we reversed the grant of summary judgment in favor of John Zambetti in this suit concerning an oral agreement by Zambetti to pay the attorney fees of his legal adversaries. See Cheeley Investments v. Zambetti, 332 Ga. App. 115 (770 SE2d 350) (2015). Following the remittitur, the case was tried, and a jury returned a verdict in favor of Cheeley Investments, L.P. and others. Zambetti appeals and argues that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on three legal concepts, including the Statute of Frauds. He also contends that the trial court erred by denying his motion for a directed verdict. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.On appeal from the denial of a motion for a directed verdict or for j.n.o.v., we construe the evidence in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion, and the standard of review is whether there is any evidence to support the jury’s verdict.
