BellSouth has been ordered to pay $16.5 million to two telemarketing firms for hiring them to increase its small-business clientele and then improperly firing them after copying their marketing techniques. The suit alleged fraudulent inducement, negligent representation, breach of contract and tortious interference with a business relationship. Plaintiffs' lead lawyer G. Joseph Curley also accused BellSouth of using an extremely vigorous motion tactic to try to "exhaust" his clients into going away.
