Should There Be Such a Tort as the Intentional Interference

question 120

Essay

Should there be such a tort as the intentional interference with contractual relations? Even though one person might induce another to breach a contract,isn't it ultimately the choice of that other person to breach the contract? Why should one be liable if that person was not the one who actually breached the contract?
