Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Torts – Intentional torts - Intentional interference with economic relations – Inducing breach of contract – Applicants found liable to respondents for intentionally interfering with economic relations and for inducing breach of contract - Whether it is an unjustifiable encroachment of tort law into the realm of contract to allow use of the economic torts of intentional interference with economic relations and inducing breach of contract when commercial parties have deliberately arranged their affairs in contract – Whether the necessary intent for the torts of intentional interference with economic relations and inducing breach of contract is present when the harm to the plaintiff or the breach of contract is the natural consequence of the defendant’s actions, even if it is neither an end in itself nor a means to an end sought by the defendant.
The applicants were found liable to both respondents and ordered to pay significant damages. The trial judge concluded that all three applicants were jointly and severally liable for defamation of the respondent Leona Alleslev-Krofchak and for intentionally interfering with her economic relations. The applicants Poulin and Valcom were held jointly and severally liable to the respondent Temagami for intentionally interfering with its economic relations and for inducing breach of contract. The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicants’ appeal.
