Docket entry
170894 Francis Hospitality, Inc. v. Read Properties, LLC 11/21/2018 In a commercial real estate broker's action for unpaid leasing fees, the circuit court erred in finding that a lessor and lessee tortiously interfered with their own lease contract by not paying such fees. The award of treble damages and attorney's fees under a third count alleging civil conspiracy under Code § 18.2-499 and § 18.2-500 is reversed because of the failure of the claim for tortious interference as the predicate wrongful conduct. The award of damages for breach of contract is undisturbed, and final judgment for that amount is entered on this appeal.
