Interference with Contractual or Business Relations

Protect Your Business from Unlawful Interference.

Interference with contractual or business relations occurs when a third party intentionally disrupts a contractual relationship or business expectancy between two parties, causing harm to one or both parties involved. This type of interference can have serious consequences for businesses, including financial losses, damage to reputation and disruption of operations.

Types of Interference

Interference with contractual or business relations can take various forms, including:

  • Tortious Interference with Contracts: This occurs when a third party intentionally induces a party to breach a contract or interferes with the performance of a contractual obligation, resulting in damages to the other party.
  • Tortious Interference with Prospective Business Relations: This involves interference with potential business relationships or opportunities, such as prospective contracts, partnerships or investments, which prevents one party from realizing the expected benefits.

Elements of Interference Claims

To establish a claim for interference with contractual or business relations, certain elements must be proven, including:

  • Existence of a Valid Relationship: The plaintiff must demonstrate the existence of a valid contractual or business relationship with another party.
  • Knowledge of the Relationship: The defendant must have knowledge of the existence and nature of the relationship between the plaintiff and the other party.
  • Intentional Interference: The defendant must intentionally and improperly interfere with the contractual or business relationship, such as through threats, coercion, or inducement to breach the contract or terminate the relationship.
  • Damages: The interference must result in actual damages or economic harm to the plaintiff, such as financial losses, lost opportunities or damage to reputation.

Legal Remedies

Victims of interference with contractual or business relations may seek various legal remedies, including:

  • Monetary Damages: Compensation for financial losses, lost profits and other damages incurred as a result of the interference.
  • Injunctive Relief: Court orders prohibiting the defendant from continuing the interference or engaging in similar conduct in the future.
  • Punitive Damages: Additional damages awarded to punish the defendant for particularly egregious or malicious interference.
