tortious interference with contract

Tortious interference with contract occurs when someone intentionally disrupts an existing contractual relationship between two parties. This can happen if a third party persuades one party to break the contract, or if they create obstacles that prevent the contract from being fulfilled. To prove this claim, the affected party must show that the third party knew about the contract, acted wrongly, and caused harm or damages as a result. Essentially, it is a legal way to hold someone accountable for unlawfully interfering in a business or personal agreement.
