The plaintiffs allege that Quinn and his brother Jarlath Quinn d/b/a Pleasures are liable in deceit for up to $100,000 for the plaintiffs’ losses. Quinn had no contact with the plaintiffs until September 1, 1987. Thereafter, the only evidence of any possible misrepresentation on his part is that in October 1987 he *524discussed giving the plaintiffs a sublease for a term of years when Quinn knew that Pleasures itself was only a tenant at will at the time. Quinn never gave the plaintiffs a written sublease, but he allowed the plaintiffs to conduct their business at the Premises until the plaintiffs left of their own accord in August 1988. The plaintiffs’ claim in deceit against the Quinns d/b/a Pleasures fails because the plaintiffs have not established by a preponderance of the evidence that the Quinns d/b/a Pleasures were the proximate cause of any of the plaintiffs’ damages.
