Interference with Business Relations

Sometimes a contractual or economic relationship falls apart because one of the parties to the contract or economic relationship breaches the contract or intentionally undermines the economic relationship. Other times, some third-party steps in and undermines the parties’ contracts or prospective economic relationship. In those instances, the parties to the contract or economic relationship may have a right to sue and claim damages from the third-party who intentionally interfered with that relationship. Our commercial attorneys have experience with these types of disputes and can help innocent victims recover from third-party wrong doers.

Intentional Interference with Contractual Relations

To prove an intentional interference with contractual relations claim, a plaintiff needs to show that:

1. A contract between plaintiff and a third-party exists or existed

2. Defendant knew of the contract

3. Defendant’s conduct prevented performance or made performance more expensive or difficult

4. Defendant intended to disrupt the performance of this contract or knew such disruption was certain or substantially certain to occur

5. Plaintiff was harmed

6. Defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff’s harm

Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Relations

To prove an intentional interference with prospective economic relations claim, a plaintiff needs to show that:

1. Plaintiff and a third-party were in an economic relationship that probably would have resulted in an economic benefit to plaintiff

2. Defendant knew of that relationship

3. Defendant did some wrongful conduct intended to disrupt that relationship or knew that disruption was certain or substantially certain to occur

4. The relationship was disrupted

5. Plaintiff was harmed

6. Defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff’s harm
