Idaho Supreme Court

Snap! Mobile v. Vertical Raise

February 2, 2024544 P.3d 714

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court reversed the additur and new-trial order because the jury's damages award could reasonably be attributed to the jury instructions, competing damages evidence, and permissible factfinding rather than solely to passion or prejudice. It affirmed the award of discretionary expert-witness costs, held that the contempt defendants were not procedurally barred from challenging the injunction, and affirmed dismissal of the contempt charges because the injunction was overly broad even though it satisfied Rule 65(d)'s specificity requirements. The court also reversed the permanent injunction because it restrained lawful conduct beyond the scope of the employment agreements and directed that no injunction issue on remand.
