Supreme Court of Delaware

A judgment of zero damages in a dispute arising from a theft of certain business records and a related termination of a collection agency's contract with a bank is reversed where the trial court erred in limiting plaintiff-collection agency to a contract measure of damages, as opposed to a tort measure of damages which would allow for lost profits.
