1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lemons

In this appeal of an action brought by Larry A. Buckman (“Buckman”) against his former employer, PTS Corporation, d/b/a Alliance Bail Bonds (“Alliance”) and Patsy D. Tauro (“Tauro”) (collectively “defendants”) alleging improper use of his name for advertising or trade purposes, we consider whether the trial court erred in overruling a motion in limine to exclude evidence of an investigation of Buckman. Also, we consider whether the trial court erred in overruling Tauro’s demurrer concerning his personal liability under Code § 8.01-40(A).
