What is the intentional component of the tort?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Maggiacomo v. Yumusak, 2018 ONSC 3368 (CanLII):
The intentional component of the tort is the focus of the argument before me. As set out in Correia v. Canac Kitchens, above, at para. 100, “it is not enough that the loss was a foreseeable consequence of the defendant’s conduct; to be actionable under this tort, the loss must have been the intended result.”
