Miguel and Caitlin Own Competing Computer Software Companies

question 43

Multiple Choice

Miguel and Caitlin own competing computer software companies. The success of Caitlin's business was due largely to the work of her chief designer, Mia. During a recent party, Miguel asked Mia if she was happy working for Caitlin. Mia answered, "It's okay, I guess." Miguel then spent the next hour explaining to Mia how she would earn a great deal more money, and how she would be involved in much more interesting projects, if she worked for him instead. Which of the following statements is most likely TRUE?

• A) Connor cannot be held liable to Caitlin for the tort of interference with contractual relations if the court is satisfied that he provided Mia with information about his organization, but did not actually persuade her to leave her job with Caitlin.
• B) Because he knew that Mia worked for Caitlin, he automatically will be liable for punitive damages if the court finds that a tort has been committed.
• C) Because he knows of the employment contract between Caitlin and Mia, Miguel can be liable for the tort of interference with contractual relations if he unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Mia to leave her job with Caitlin.
• D) Connor cannot be held liable to Caitlin for the tort of interference with contractual relations unless he committed some other tort, such as intimidation, against Mia.
• E) If Mia does leave her job with Caitlin and begins to work for Connor, Caitlin will certainly be entitled to receive damages from Connor.
