intentional interference with contractual relations

Read a random definition: lender

A quick definition of intentional interference with contractual relations:

Intentional interference with contractual relations is when someone does something on purpose to stop a contract between two other people or companies. The person who interferes can be sued and made to pay money to the people who were supposed to have the contract. To win the case, the people who were supposed to have the contract need to show that there was a real contract, that the person who interfered knew about it, that they did something wrong on purpose, and that the interference caused them to lose money.

A more thorough explanation:

Intentional interference with contractual relations is a legal term that refers to a situation where a person intentionally and improperly interferes with another person's contractual relationship with a third party. This interference can result in damages being awarded to the injured party.

To prove intentional interference with contractual relations, the plaintiff must show that:

  1. A valid contract existed between the plaintiff and a third party
  2. The defendant had knowledge of the contract
  3. The defendant acted intentionally and improperly to interfere with the contract
  4. The plaintiff suffered damages as a result of the interference

For example, if Company A has a contract with Company B to provide services, and Company C intentionally convinces Company B to breach the contract with Company A, then Company A may have a claim for intentional interference with contractual relations against Company C.

Another example could be if an employee has a contract with their employer that guarantees them a certain salary and benefits, and a competitor intentionally convinces the employer to breach the contract by offering the employee a higher salary to work for them instead. In this case, the employee may have a claim for intentional interference with contractual relations against the competitor.
