Feldman v. Allegheny International Inc‪.‬

Alter a period of lengthy negotiations between the parties for the purchase of a group of food-related companies, the deal fell through. Allegheny eventually sold to another buyer and Feldman sued for breach of contract of sale. He also named as defendants his competing suitors, who ultimately purchased the companies, for interfering with his business prospects with Allegheny. At the close of Feldmans presentation of evidence on liability before the jury, the trial judge directed a verdict for the defendants. Having refused Feldmans request to amend the pleadings shortly before trial, the judge denied a similar request after receipt of the plaintiffs evidence, and again after rendering a directed verdict. Feldman appeals from these rulings. We affirm.
