Sowell v. Blackman

Johnson, Chief Judge.

J. R. Sowell, Jr. and his son, Randy Sowell, (“the Sowells”) sued Hal S. Blackman and J. R. & S. T., Inc. (“Blackman”) claiming tortious interference with a contractual relationship. The case was tried before a jury. At the conclusion of the Sowells’ case, the trial court granted Blackman’s motion for a directed verdict. The Sowells appeal.

It was therefore error to have granted a directed verdict, and the judgment of the trial court must be reversed.
