Western Blue Print Company, LLC v. Myrna Roberts

Summary

The Court held that Myrna Roberts, an at-will division vice president who was neither an officer nor director and was not subject to a non-compete agreement, did not owe Western Blue a fiduciary duty under the circumstances. It nevertheless upheld the verdicts for tortious interference with a valid business expectancy, computer tampering, and civil conspiracy, as well as the attorney-fee award, because substantial evidence supported those claims and the fee allocation was not an abuse of discretion. The judgment was therefore affirmed in part, reversed as to the fiduciary-duty claim, and remanded.
