Edwards v. Anaconda Co‪.‬

The appellant, George Edwards, sued the Anaconda Company for intentional interference with prospective business advantage and also for breach of contract. The two claims were tried together. The lower court entered judgment directing a verdict against the plaintiff on the tort claim and in favor of the plaintiff on the contract action. The court ordered that only nominal damages be awarded for breach of contract. The plaintiff appealed, challenging the directed verdict against him on the tort claim and also the award of nominal damages.
