Wild v. Rarig

I agree that there must be a new trial if all issues are to be con*459sidered. However, if the case were properly tried, it seems likely that the plaintiff would be able to establish a cause of action for defamation or interference with future contracts (but not both), and that he could prove damages. Therefore, in order possibly to avoid the agony and the expense of a new trial, I would give the plaintiff the option of agreeing to a remittitur to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000).

Odden, Justice (concurring specially). I agree with the concurring opinion of Judge Irvine.…
