The elements of tortious interference
A business owner or other claimant must generally prove all required tortious interference Florida elements to have a successful case. The four elements are:
1. the plaintiff’s existence of a business relationship,
2. the defendant’s knowledge of the relationship,
3. the defendant’s intentional interference disrupts the relationship and
4. the existence of damages.
What are defenses to tortious interference under Florida law?
Perhaps the simplest defenses to tortious interference under Florida law are to prove that one or more necessary elements are not met. For example, you could show that a defendant’s interference did not cause any damage. You may also be able to show that a defendant lacked the requisite intent to commit the tort (e.g., didn’t know about the plaintiff’s contract with another party or other advantageous business relationship).
