Salsgiver Commc’ns, Inc. v. Consol. Commc’ns Holdings, Inc., PICS Case No. 16-1392 (Pa. Super. Nov. 10, 2016) Olson, J. (23 pages).

Trial court did not err in giving jury instructions in appellant cable television system operators’ action alleging that appellees tortiously interfered with appellants’ contractual relations by refusing to give appellants access to their telephone poles to string fiber optic cable because the trial court did not instruct the jury that there was a good-faith “defense,” did instruct the jury on all of the §767 Restatement (Second) of Torts factors and any error in the instruction on mitigation of damages was irrelevant because the jury found for appellees. Affirmed.
