Imagine you've finally landed that big client, the ink's barely dry on the contract, and then… poof! They back out because a competitor whispered sweet (and likely misleading) nothings in their ear. This might be *intentional interference with contractual relations*, and it's a serious legal issue.
Essentially, it means someone knowingly and wrongfully meddled with your existing contract, causing it to be breached. It’s not just bad luck; it's deliberate disruption. To prove it, you generally need to show:
* A valid contract existed.
* The other party knew about it.
* They intentionally interfered.
* Their interference caused the breach.
* You suffered damages as a result.
If you suspect someone intentionally interfered with your contract, consulting with an attorney is crucial. They can help you assess your options and potentially recover damages for the losses you sustained because of the interference. Don't let someone else's shady tactics derail your business!
