| 534 | 67 | IV.I. Barratry evidence and causation (MNT #10, JNOV #10) | Barratry finding would have no legal effect on Pohl's right to recover. Not a defense to any aspect of Pohl's claims. Court properly limited opinion evidence on relevance grounds. On causation: reasonable royalty and development cost damages directly linked to Kassab wrongfully acquiring trade secrets. Attorney fee damages proximately caused by Kassab — he only successfully obtained clients after purchasing Pohl's trade secrets and using them for mass solicitation. Former clients' decisions to sue were foreseeable by Kassab as his specific goal (Dew v. Crown Derrick). Pohl has never been found by any adjudicatory body to have committed barratry. |
