Tortious Interference - General
The plaintiff has claimed that the defendant tortiously interfered with its existing contract with
<name of contracting party> [and/or with its business expectancy] to <identify subject matter of
contract>. First, the plaintiff must prove that it had an existing contract with <name of
contracting party> [or that it had a business expectancy]. Second, the plaintiff must prove that
the defendant knew of that contract [or business expectancy]. Third, the plaintiff must prove that
the defendant tortiously interfered with that contract [or business expectancy]. Finally, the
plaintiff must prove it suffered an actual loss as a result of the defendant’s alleged tortious
interference. I will explain each of these four elements for you.
