Ps were individuals doing business under a general partnership. They sued D, a West Virginia corporation, engaged in the mortgage banking business to recover damages for an alleged breach of contract to make Ps a long-term loan to repay a construction loan from Central Carolina Bank (CCB). P got another temporary loan from CCB but at a much higher rate than the loan from D. P sued D for the interest it paid on the temporary loan. The trial court refused to allow these damages. P appealed.
