March 13, 199841 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 546

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a law firm could not recover lost contingent fees as consequential damages because such loss was not reasonably foreseeable at the time of the fee contract. Accordingly, the Court reversed the award of $500,000 in lost contingent fees and affirmed the remainder of the judgment.
