Is it actionable to induce or persuade another person not to enter into a contract with another person?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Heinrichs v. Wiens, 1915 CanLII 232 (SK CA):
This case, in my opinion, comes clearly within the principle of the decision in Allen v. Flood, [1898] A.C. 1. That case may fairly be said to decide that it is not actionable merely to induce or persuade another not to enter into a contract with a third person even if it is done maliciously and although the third person suffers damage.
