Description

Dan Roberts and Debra Whitfill were business partners in Cleburne. After their partnership dissolved and they became competitors, Whitfill sued Roberts for antitrust violations, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty. Aided by a spoliation instruction, Whitfill prevailed before a jury, which found for her on all three claims and assessed damages of $110,000 in compensatory damages against Roberts and $50,000 in punitive damages. The damages were trebled, and along with attorneys fees, a judgment awarding over $750,000 in compensatory damages and $50,000 in punitive damages was entered by the trial court. We will reverse the judgment and render judgment that Whitfill take nothing on her antitrust claim and remand the cause to the trial court.
