J. Young declines to dismiss the investors' securities action against software company Pegasystems and its CEO after the company was ordered to pay more than $2 billion for stealing another company's trade secrets. It can be inferred that the CEO "was aware of, participated in, and directed" Pegasystems' espionage against the other company, and that Pegasystems rewarded the authors of the conspiracy with cash bonuses. The investors sufficiently allege that Pegasystems deceived them when it promised to never use illegal means to acquire a competitor's trade secrets and when it later reassured the investors that the other company's claims were without merit.

J. Young finds that the court of appeals properly ruled against the owners of a tax consulting firm in a liability case it filed against the former stakeholder of the firm. An agreement between the parties stipulated that funds placed in escrow would be distributed to the stakeholder in the event he prevails in a separate case. After the funds were taken by the firm’s attorney, the firm’s owners sued the stakeholder, seeking to discharge themselves of further liability. While the funds were placed in escrow, the liability did not shift, thus the owners were still responsible for the funds and have not satisfied the agreement. Affirmed.

J. Young grants a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by a car dealership, finding a trial court’s order for a new trial an abuse of its discretion. After the trial court rendered its judgment in a negligence suit filed by the daughter of an employee of the dealership who was injured after another employee hit her with his car, the daughter asked for a new trial, asserting that instructions to the jury were violated, leading to a less favorable outcome for her. None of the reasons the daughter outlined in her motion for a new trial warranted the trial court’s decision to grant one.
