The topic of this podcast is Tortious Interference - when one of the parties to a contract claims that a third party wrongfully interfered with the contract by inducing the other party to breach. The rule for when tortious interference arises after a contract can be found in Restatement (Second) of Torts § 766. Tortious interference can also arise before the contract is formed, when the third party is claimed to have interfered with the formation of a contract. The podcast includes a discussion of defenses to a claim of tortious interference, and examines the fine line between unlawful and permissible interference per Restatement (Second) of Torts § 767. The cases Texaco, Inc. v. Pennzoil Co. and Phillips v. MEA are covered, as is the movie The Insider which was based on a real tortious interference case.
