Vashovsky v Zablocki

Holding The appellate court reversed the lower court’s denial of the motion to dismiss, granting dismissal of the causes of action for interference with a prospective economic advantage. The court held that the plaintiff’s complaint failed to sufficiently allege that the defendants’ actions were meant solely to harm the plaintiff or constituted wrongful means.

The court’s words

To establish a claim of tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, a plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant's interference with its prospective business relations was accomplished by wrongful means
