What is the test for intentional interference with a plaintiff's interest?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Boyd v Eacom Timber Corporation, 2012 SKQB 226 (CanLII):
In order to succeed a plaintiff must prove that a defendant intended to procure breach of contract. Intention is proven by showing that the defendant acted with the desire to cause a breach of contract, even if the defendant’s motive was not to harm the plaintiff. Malicious motive is not an element of the tort (Posluns v. Toronto Stock Exchange 1968 CanLII 6 (SCC), [1968] S.C.R. 330, (1968) 67 D.L.R. (2d) 165. This cause of action is predicated upon intentional conduct. That is, the tort requires a deliberate interference with the plaintiff’s interest. iii) Knowledge
