Commercial tenant sued landlord for private nuisance, based on alleged harrassment, and alleged interference with business, and for breach of covenant of quiet enjoyment. After depositions, landlord submitted deposition testimony and established lack of compensable damages. Tenant did not raise issues of fact and because there were no compensable damages, tenant's claim for punitive damages must fail.
