What is the standard of damages for loss of net profits in an action for conspiracy to induce breach of contract?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mayes v. Sturdy Northern Sates, Inc., 154 Cal.Rptr. 43, 91 Cal.App.3d 69 (Cal. App. 1979):
An award based on loss of net profits is proper for breach of contract. (See Morello v. Growers Grape Prod. Assn. (1947) 82 Cal.App.2d 365, 375, 186 P.2d 463.) Such a measure of damages is equally appropriate in a tort action for conspiracy to induce breach of contract.
