Associated Payphone, a general partnership, sued Ray’s All American Food Store Inc. and its president, Marvin R. Griffin, for breach of contract and sued Ultra Telecom, Inc. and its president, Nick Damani, for tortious interference with contractual relations. The trial court entered judgment on the jury verdict against Griffin, for contract damages and attorney fees, and against Damani and Ultra, for tort damages, attorney fees and punitive damages. Following the denial of their motions for new trial, all four defendants appeal, assigning error to the trial court’s denial of their motions for directed verdict, the form of the verdict, the charge on the law, and the admission of certain evidence. For the following reasons, we affirm.

1. The appellants contend the trial court erred in denying the motions for directed verdict of the two individual defendants, Griffin and Damani.
