201097P.pdf 08/06/2021 CRST Expedited, Inc. v. Swift Transportation
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-1097
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Contracts. In this action for intentional interference with
existing contracts, the district court's post-verdict order upholding the
award of damages to CRST was premised on a theory of liability this court
recently rejected in CRST Expedited, Inc. v. TransAm Trucking, Inc., 960
F.3d 499 (8th Cir. 2020), and the judgment must be reversed; after careful
review of the record, the court concludes the case must be reversed with
instruction to dismiss because, for multiple reasons, CRST failed to prove
its interference-with-contract claim and, therefore, its claim for unjust
enrichment as well.
