In Competition Suit That Sought $41M, Dallas County Jury Awards $120K

A dispute over the sale of a window manufacturing business was recently settled by a Dallas County jury that awarded plaintiff Boral Windows none of the $41 million it sought in damages against the former owner of the company who it alleged violated a noncompete agreement.

But in a win for Boral on the eve of trial, Dallas County District Judge Maricela Moore granted the company a directed verdict on $100 million in counterclaims brought by William Robinson for fraud, tortious interference, unjust enrichment and conspiracy. The jury awarded Boral $120,000 on a claim that Robinson’s niece had improperly accessed and shared Boral’s pricing and client information.
