Description
This action was brought by Louis T. Casaretto, doing business as the Redwood Meat Co., against J. D. and L. J. DeLucchi, partners, doing business as Mount Davidson Market, on a common count for goods allegedly sold by plaintiff to defendants. The goods sold consisted of meats which were allegedly sold and delivered during the period May, 1943, to November, 1943. According to plaintiffs evidence he delivered $14,013.66 of meat during the period in question to defendants for which he received only $5,854.90, leaving a claimed balance of $8,158.76. The defendants in their answer denied all the material allegations of the complaint, and, in addition, by way of set-off and counterclaim, alleged that plaintiff had overcharged them some $7,000 on the deliveries made. The defendants also cross-complained not only against plaintiff but also against one Schroeter, the former manager of the meat department of defendants. The first count of the cross-complaint alleged the existence of a conspiracy between Schroeter and plaintiff by means of which the conspirators planned to deteriorate the value of defendants market so that it could be purchased by or sublet to them at much less than its real value; that pursuant to this conspiracy when Casaretto would deliver meat to defendants market, Schroeter, as defendants manager would receipt for meat in excess of the amount delivered. It is alleged that this phase of the conspiracy resulted in a loss in operation of $6,493.50 and a loss of profits in the sum of $5,058.22, or a total damage of $11,551.72.
