Description
This is a breach of contract and tortious interference with contract case. Trial was to a jury, which found that Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company (Transco) breached its "take or pay" contracts with American National Petroleum Company (ANPC) and Oil Investments, Ltd. (Oil), and tortiously interfered with gas balancing agreements ANPC and Oil had with third parties. The jury found exemplary damages of $16 million for the tortious interference, and the trial court rendered judgment for ANPC and Oil on both theories, including the exemplary damages. The court of appeals, with other judgment modifications, reversed the judgment for exemplary damages, holding, in part, that ANPC and Oils failure to obtain a separate finding of tort damages precluded recovery of the exemplary damages. 763 S.W.2d 809. We hold that Transcos express statement that it did not object to the failure to submit a tort damages jury question because the damages for tort and contract were the same, was sufficient to waive any error in the failure to submit a separate tort damages question. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and remand the cause to that court for it to consider points not previously addressed, including factual sufficiency points.
