Contracts
Tortious interference with contract

Tri-Corp Housing, Inc. appeals the summary judgment dismissing all of Tri-Corp’s claims against Alderman Robert Bauman. Tri-Corp argues that the trial court erred when it: (1) granted summary judgment in Alderman Bauman’s favor with regard to Tri-Corp’s conspiracy and tortious interference with a contract or prospective contract claim because disputed issues of material fact existed as to both claims; and (2) concluded that Tri-Corp’s damages were speculative. We have affirmed the trial court with regard to Tri-Corp’s conspiracy claims against the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) in a separate appeal and now affirm the trial court with regard to the conspiracy claims against Alderman Bauman. However, we conclude that issues of material fact exist regarding Tri-Corp’s tortious interference with a contract or prospective contract claim against Alderman Bauman. Accordingly, we affirm in part and reverse in part and remand. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
