Does the tort of intentional interference with economic relations apply to individual defendants?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from J.S.M. Corporation (Ontario) Ltd. v. Brick Furniture Warehouse Ltd., 2006 CanLII 6198 (ON SC):

The acts of oppression and breaches of contract were the acts of the corporate defendants, as discussed above. The individual defendants simply acted in their capacity as corporate officers and as part of the directing mind of the defendant corporations. Considering all of these circumstances, in my view, the so-called Said v. Butt exception applies. The tort of intentional interference with economic relations
