| 514 | 66 | XVI. Factual insufficiency — willful and malicious (Q8, Q17) | Insufficient evidence of clear and convincing evidence of malice. Must analyze malice evidence for each defendant separately (Horizon Health). Evidence of tort itself insufficient for malice finding (Safeshred). Kassab's only alleged malicious acts: filing grievance and copying news outlets/DA — but these were ethically obligated disclosures of criminal conduct. No evidence Kassab knew information belonged to Pohl (as opposed to Precision/clients). Uncontroverted evidence: information freely transferred to Favre, disclosed without confidentiality protections, Kassab believed information was in public domain. No injury independent of misappropriation itself (Eagle Oil). Legally justified conduct not probative of malice (Safeshred). |
