What is the test for alleging unlawful interference with economic or contractual relations?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Esguerra v. Liland Insurance Inc., 2009 CanLII 68820 (ON SC):
The combination of alleging tortious conduct and a conspiracy to commit tortious conduct is also problematic. As Lord Denning observed in Ward v. Lewis [1955] 1 All E.R. 55 (Eng.C.A.): It is important to remember that when a tort has been committed by two or more persons, an allegation of a prior conspiracy to commit the tort means nothing. The prior agreement merges in the tort. Unlawful Interference with Economic or Contractual Relations
