What is tortious interference with an existing contract?

A claim for tortuous interference with an existing contract must allege that the plaintiff had an existing contract that the defendant willfully and intentionally interfered with it and the result was actual damage or loss to the plaintiff. A defendant cannot be held liable for interference with a void or illegal contract or a contract that is against public policy. To prove a claim for tortious interference, the plaintiff must show that the defendant willfully and intentionally interfered with the performance of the contract. If there is no interference, there is no claim. There is also no claim if the interference is unintentional. The interference must have caused actual damage or loss to the plaintiff.
