|---|---|---|
| 1181 | 67 67 | Kassab's motions repeat arguments previously considered and rejected at summary judgment, 166(g) hearings, pre-trial hearings, directed verdict, and otherwise |
| 1182 | 67 67 | The jury verdict is supported by nearly two weeks of trial evidence |
| 1183 | 67 67 | Kassab has not filed a proposed order as required by court procedures — constitutional minimum requirements prevent pro forma new trial orders |
| 1184 | 67 67 | Walker is a self-professed perjurer and extortionist who first tried to extort Pohl for share of judgment; Pohl refused; Walker then approached Kassab to sell testimony |
| 1185 | 67 67 | Walker gave testimony in 2018 on the two topics at issue consistent with his 2022 testimony in this case — demonstrably untrue that he reversed course |
| 1186 | 67 67 | Kassab did not disclose to Court during mistrial request that Walker approached Kassab offering to sell testimony to undermine judgment |
| 1187 | 67 67 | Kassab waived Q2 objection — charge conference transcript shows counsel stated 'Not to Number 2' when Court asked for objections |
| 1188 | 67 67 | Kassab also waived Q3 objection — he insisted on including wrongful conduct question at charge conference |
| 1189 | 67 67 | Kassab waived jury verdict inconsistency objection by not asserting before Court dismissed jury (Bryan v. Papalia) |
| 1190 | 67 67 | No inconsistency: jury could find Precision obtained information lawfully (while working for Pohl) but Kassab misappropriated through post-acquisition use/disclosure |
| 1191 | 67 67 | Attorney does not act as agent when fee contract is drafted or before it is signed; client does not own collection of contracts |
| 1192 | 67 67 | Jury heard testimony about locked office above bank with security, workers understood confidentiality requirements |
| 1193 | 67 67 | Kassab was willing to pay over six figures to access attorney-client contracts — inconsistent with claim information was publicly available |
| 1194 | 67 67 | Pohl's claims accrued no earlier than November 2016 when Kassab purchased confidential information; suit filed less than 2 years later |
| 1195 | 67 67 | Unlawful acts doctrine preempted by proportionate responsibility statute — Dugger found it 'no longer a viable defense' |
| 1196 | 67 67 | No Texas case law supports Kassab's claimed privilege to engage in trade secret misappropriation to expose wrongdoing |
| 1197 | 67 67 | No attorney-client relationship existed when Kassab used trade secrets for mass solicitation — cannot pre-date contact with prospective client |
| 1198 | 67 67 | Rule 17.09 inapplicable because claim accrued upon acquisition/use of information, which occurred before any grievance filing |
| 1199 | 67 67 | Judicial proceedings privilege applies only to libel/slander claims for communications in judicial proceedings |
| 1200 | 67 67 | Kassab only successfully obtained clients after purchasing Pohl's trade secrets for mass solicitation — prior public-information letters were unsuccessful |
| 1201 | 67 67 | LaCore Enterprises dealt with fees from same proceeding, not other cases — Kassab was warned about mischaracterizing this case |

| 1206 | 67 67 | Kassab indemnified Favre against claims related to disclosure — demonstrating knowledge of breach of confidentiality |
| 1207 | 67 67 | Shepherd produced nearly half million pages of documents at Kassab's request |
| 1208 | 67 67 | Kassab concealed identity of who assigned barratry claims to avoid disclosing duplicative assertion in separate lawsuit |
| 1209 | 67 67 | Pohl has never been found by any adjudicatory body to have committed barratry |
| 1210 | 67 67 | Jury found over $2M in actual damages; $3M exemplary complies with TUTSA 2x cap |
| 1211 | 67 67 | Kassab's proportionate responsibility question improper — Pohl could not have misappropriated his own trade secrets under § 33.011(4) |
