Civil Causes of Action - Intentional Interference with Contract Law and Legal Definition
The elements of intentional interference with contract are:
- the existence of a contractual relationship,
- knowledge by the defendant of the relationship,
- intentional acts to disrupt the relationship,
- actual disruption
- damages to the plaintiff.
The tort of intentional interference with prospective economic advantage is usually a separate action as it does not require a plaintiff to plead that the defendant acted with a specific intent to disrupt the plaintiff's advantage. It is sufficient to plead that the defendant knew that interference was certain or substantially certain to occur as a result of its action.
