Description
Damages for lost future profits of a new business ordinarily are not recoverable because the evidence is inherently too speculative; but where, as in this case, a business, established on a national scale and with a proven record of substantial success, expands its sales activity to another state, the evidence of prospective profits does not lack the requisite certainty. It was not an error of law to have permitted the jury to consider such loss of future profits, and the granting of a new trial on the sole ground that plaintiffs business was not an established one must be reversed and the case remanded with instructions to reinstate the verdict.
