Tuffy'S, Inc., an Oklahoma Corporation, and Ellen Cunningham

Summary

The court reversed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' negligence claim but upheld dismissal of their tortious-interference claim. The plaintiffs had standing because they alleged direct financial injury to their business, while tortious interference necessarily involves bad faith and therefore falls outside the municipality's liability under the Governmental Tort Claims Act. The court held that law-enforcement immunity does not categorically bar negligence claims when police conduct may have occurred within the scope of employment.
