Description
Technical Representatives, Inc. (plaintiff), entered into a sales representative agreement with defendant Richardson-Merrell, Inc. Richardson-Merrell terminated the agreement on June 30, 1974. Defendant Lester Schedin was employed by plaintiff prior to June 30, 1974. On July 1, 1974, he began working for Richardson-Merrell. Plaintiff filed suit against Richardson-Merrell for: commissions on shipments made after June 30, 1974, pursuant to orders received before that date (count I); and commissions on sales of which plaintiff was the procuring cause, but which were made after the termination (count II). It filed suit against both Richardson-Merrell and Schedin for: damages on the theory that Schedin persuaded Richardson-Merrell to terminate the agreement and that Richardson-Merrell aided Schedin in the breach of his duty of loyalty (count III); and damages on the theory that Richardson-Merrell and Schedin conspired to maliciously interfere with plaintiff's contract rights (count IV). The trial court granted summary judgment for Richardson-Merrell and Schedin on counts III and IV. On count I, the trial court entered an order in favor of plaintiff. On count II, it entered an order in favor of Richardson-Merrell. Plaintiff appeals and Richardson-Merrell cross-appeals. On appeal, plaintiff argues that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment for Richardson-Merrell and Schedin on counts III and IV and in entering an order in favor of Richardson-Merrell on count II. In its cross-appeal, Richardson-Merrell contends that the trial court erred in entering an order in favor of plaintiff on count I.
