prospective economic advantage claimed based upon premature withdrawl from
auditing engagement, breaching the parties' engagement contract by not issuing
an audit opinion to defendants, and negligently interfering with Medtran's
prospective economic advantages with successor auditors and potential
investor by making defamatory statements impugning the honesty of Medtran's
management. At trial, Medtrans asserted defendants wrongdoing caused it to
lose a potential $10 million capital investment. Defendants claimed that under
professional standards governing auditors they had good cause to resign
from their engagement with Medtrans based upon their determinations that
Medtrans' management was uncooperative, made unreliable financial representations and impaired
defendants' independence by making threats. The parties disputed whether
defendants' resignation was with good cause.
