In order for the plaintiffs to recover damages from Cohen and Camiel, the plaintiffs must prove that the harm suffered was proximately caused by Cohen’s and Camiel’s tortious conduct. See Johnson v. Summers, 411 Mass. 82, 88 (1991), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 1166 (1992). The plaintiffs must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Cohen’s and Camiel’s tortious conduct caused the plaintiffs to sustain actual damages. See Flag Fables, Inc. v. Jean Ann’s Country Flags & Crafts, Inc., 753 F.Supp. 1007, 1010 (D.Mass. 1990). The plaintiffs stipulated in open court that Cohen could only be liable for expenses incurred by the plaintiffs through September 1, 1987. The plaintiffs contend that they are entitled to recover from Cohen up to $100,000 for any and all funds expended on behalf of the Ritz through September 1, 1987 and from Camiel up to $100,000 for any and all funds expended on behalf of the Ritz at any time.
