The following excerpt is from Jerry v. The Corporation of the City of Barrie, 2020 ONSC 629 (CanLII):
Cromwell J. adopted with authority the words of Goudge J.A. in Alleslev-Krofchak v. Valcom Ltd., 2010 ONCA 557, 322 D.L.R. (4th) 193, at para. 50: Intentional interference with economic relations requires that the defendant intend to cause loss to the plaintiff, either as an end in itself or as a means of, by example, enriching himself. If the loss suffered by the plaintiff is merely a foreseeable consequence of the defendant’s actions that is not enough.
