INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE TORTS WITH PROSPECTIVE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE
Nature of the Tort of Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage
The elements of that tort of are: ‘(1) an economic relationship between [the plaintiff and some third person] containing the probability of future economic benefit to the [plaintiff], (2) knowledge by the defendant of the existence of the relationship, (3) intentional acts on the part of the defendant designed to disrupt the relationship, (4) actual disruption of the relationship, [and] (5) damages to the plaintiff proximately caused by the acts of the defendant.’ (Buckaloo v. Johnson (1975) 14 Cal.3d 815, 827.)
Seems like this might fit the St Louis deal falling through.
