Lewis Rice attorneys Marisa L. Byram and Tyler V. Friederich co-authored an article in the September 2021 edition of Law Journal Newsletters. The article, "Say it Ain’t So! Tortious Interference with a Sublease By a Master Landlord" summarizes Sea Island Food Grp., LLC v. Yaschik Dev. Co., Inc., in which a South Carolina appellate court affirmed a trial court’s decision that: 1) a landlord had tortiously interfered with a sublease by terminating the master lease after a fire damaged the subject building; and 2) such landlord was liable to the subtenant for punitive damages. Law Journal Newsletters publishes several online and print newsletters aimed at the diverse needs of attorneys in a wide range of practice areas.
