Does good faith reliance on legal advice constitute a defense to conspiracy to interfere with contractual relations?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Greenwood & Co. Real Estate v. C-D Inv. Co., 12 Cal.App.4th 1459, 18 Cal.Rptr.2d 144 (Cal. App. 1993):
While there is no California authority squarely holding good faith reliance on legal advice constitutes a defense to a conspiracy to interfere (or intentional interference) with contractual relations, there is a negative pregnant suggesting a highly qualified defense of that nature in Richardson v. La Rancherita (1979) 98 Cal.App.3d 73, 159 Cal.Rptr. 285.
