What are the elements of the tort of intentional interference with contractual relations?
Intentional interference with contractual relations occurs when the defendant directly persuades a third party to breach a contract with the plaintiff. There are four elements: 1. The defendant must know that the contract exists, but they do not have to know the details. 2. The defendant must intend to cause the third party to breach the contract, but they don't have to intend to harm the plaintiff. 3. The defendant must actually cause the third party to break the contract. This is distinguished from simply encouraging the third party to breach the contract. 4. The plaintiff must suffer a loss as a result of the breach.
