Syllabus

The trial court's judgment that a lender did not prove justifiable reliance to support a claim for fraudulent representation was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court also did not apply an incorrect legal standard in assessing a claim brought against the borrower's attorney for tortious interference with contractual relations. Furthermore, the judgment finding that the attorney was entitled to qualified immunity was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The judgment in the attorney's favor also relieved his law firm from liability on the basis of respondeat superior. Finally, because the judgment is being affirmed, all assignments of error asserted by Appellees/Cross-Appellants are moot. Affirmed.
