Heading: Testimony from Chevron's Executives

Text: 34 El-Khoury deposed several of Chevron's executives and asked all of them what harm Chevron suffered due to El-Khoury's breach. None of those witnesses could identify a particular harm. Several responded that they did not know what harm Chevron would suffer from a violation like El-Khoury's. One of Chevron's executives went further and testified that a failure like El-Khoury's would be between the Dealer and the state. 35 On the other hand, Chevron presented testimony from executives who testified that a franchisee's failure to pay all state sales tax when due could harm the company's public reputation. That may be so. However, at summary judgment, all inferences must be drawn in favor of the nonmoving party. 36
