Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Computer Publications, Inc., an Oklahoma Corporation, Plaintiff/ Appellant v. Alysia Beth Welton, Defendant And…
June 11, 200273 O.B.A.J. 1839
Summary
The court held that the evidence was sufficient to submit Welton's intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress claim to the jury. Viewing the evidence and reasonable inferences in Welton's favor, Craig's persistent efforts to contact and monitor her supported findings of extreme and outrageous conduct and severe emotional distress. The court vacated the contrary portion of the intermediate appellate decision and affirmed the trial court's judgment for Welton on that claim.
