Per curiam, the appeals court finds the trial court improperly denied the logistics provider's motion to amend its complaint against two of its former employees alleging tortious interference, breaches of the duty of loyalty and civil conspiracy to seek punitive damages.

Reversed.

J. Groves finds the trial court properly denied the father's motion to dismiss a tortious interference suit filed by his daughter in a family business dispute. Her status as the sole owner of the properties that could not be sold after the father sought an injunction properly established all the elements required for her lawsuit. Additionally, the deed included only the daughter's name as the owner of the properties, which proved the father had no justification when he filed his injunction lawsuit. Affirmed.

J. Sannes dismisses a music promoter’s claims for breach of contract, racial discrimination and tortious interference brought against New York State Department of Agriculture and the New York State Fair system stemming from a Young Thug concert that took place at a state fairground. It alleges the departments breached the terms of an advertising agreement by failing to fully promote the concert on its website, which led to low ticket sales. The promoter further claims the defendants’ actions were part of a pattern of racial discrimination, suggesting the management harbors racial animus towards hip-hop acts and the perceived race of their fans. Fatal to the promoter’s claims was the lack of its advertising contract or any major details regarding the terms of the agreement.
