Is a claim for damages arising out of interference with a prospective business relationship unproven?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Navellier v. Sletten, 262 F.3d 923 (9th Cir. 2001):
Appellants also failed to point to evidence demonstrating damages. As the district court noted, "the claim must still fail because the damages flowing from defendants' interference with this prospective business relationship are too speculative. `It is black-letter law that damages which are speculative, remote, imaginary, contingent or merely possible cannot serve as a legal basis for recovery.' " (Quoting Mozzetti v. City of Brisbane, 67 Cal. App. 3d 565, 577 (1977)).
