Dear all
I would be very grateful for any comments or relevant authorities you
may be able to point me to concerning the following hypothetical:
A has a contract with B.
A becomes aware that C will enter an inconsistent contract with B, in
circumstances where C will be held to have procured B's breach of
contract (because of the knowledge of C's agent).
A knows that C (the principle) would not induce a breach of A's
contract, if it knew of the contract between A and B.
However, A is careful not to inform C's principle, so that the tort
will be committed.
Once the tort has been committed, A takes proceedings against C.
Comments welcome.
Ger
