National Trucking Corporation (NTC) files a suit in a state court against Odell's Service Company (OSC) for intentional interference with contract, and wins. OSC appeals the court's decision, asserting that the evidence presented at trial to support National's claim was so scanty that no reasonable jury could have found for the plaintiff. Alternatively, OSC appeals on the ground that the judge did not apply one of the elements of the claim for intentional interference, claiming that there was no evidence of a signed contract between NTC and its customer. Therefore, argues OSC, the court should have applied the law of prospective business advantage, and not intential interference with contract. OSC argues that the appellate court should reverse the trial court's decision.
