Medipro Med. Staffg, LLC v. Certif. Nursing CA2/4
Two high-ranking employees of a nurse staffing company, while still employed by that company, secretly recruited nurses for a competitor’s staffing company. When the employees abruptly left to start up a new office for the competitor, their former employer sued them—and the competitor—for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and several other causes of action. A jury awarded the former employer over $3 million in lost profits and punitive damages. The employees and competitor appealed, challenging the verdict on a plethora of grounds, some of which are contrary to what they argued to the trial court. Because the general damages verdict rests upon at least one legally valid claim that is supported by substantial evidence and unaffected by any prejudicial error, we affirm the judgment.
