Document Summary

Intimidation: tort of intimidation is concerned with unethical business practices. For instance, intimidation may occur even if the tortfeasor was motivated by a desire to benefit itself rather than injure the plaintiff. Liability requires four factors: 1) the defendant must know about the contract between the third party and plaintiff. The defendant does not have to know all the details of the contract: 2) the defendant must intend to cause the third party to breach that contract. However, the defendant does not have to intend to hurt the plaintiff. The tort may be committed if the defendant is motivated by a desire to benefit itself: 3) the defendant must actually cause the third party to break its contract with the plaintiff. For instance, the defendant might hire the third party for a job that makes it impossible for that person to work for the plaintiff: 4) the plaintiff must suffer a loss as a result of the defendant"s conduct.
