Tortious interference with a contract happens when a person who is not a party to a contract somehow
influences one of the contract parties to breach the contract. This only applies where there is a written contract
between two or more parties.
Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc. and Aromatic Farms have a longstanding exclusive contract for the production
and delivery of their “Triple A” moonshine infused coffee beans.
The Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc. and Aromatic Farms contract calls for the delivery of all beans produced
domestic and foreign on Aromatic Farm’s to Moonshines distribution warehouses for processing and redelivery
to Moonshines Coffeehouses. The parties agree that the price per pallet will be $3000 with a guarantee 4000
pallet minimum. MJGreen House, Inc. a competitor of Aromatic approaches Moonshine and informs them that
Aromatic is undercutting Moonshine by withholding 10% of their worldwide coffee beans production for sale to
Moonshines’ competitor coffeehouse Star Tracks Inc. for $2000 per pallet.
As a result of this information Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc., cancels the Aromatic contract refusing to purchase
any further pallets from Aromatic. Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc., enters into a new agreement with MJGreen
House, Inc., agreeing to purchase the same quantities from MJGreen House, Inc.
