408.5 Issues on Plaintiffs Claim - Interference With Contract Not Terminable at Will

408.5 Issues on Plaintiff's Claim - Interference With Contract Not Terminable at Will The issues for you to decide on (claimant)'s claim against (defendant) are whether (defendant) intentionally interfered with a contract between [(claimant) and (name); and, if so, whether such interference was a legal cause of [loss] [injury] [or] [damage] to (claimant). A person interferes with a contract between two [or more] other persons if he or she induces or otherwise causes one of them to breach or refuse to perform the contract. Intentional interference with another person's contract is improper. Interference is intentional if the person interfering knows of the contract with which he or she is interfering, knows he or she is interfering, and desires to interfere or knows that interference is substantially certain to occur as a result of his or her action. If the greater weight of the evidence does not support (claimant)'s claim, then your verdict should be for (defendant). However, if the greater weight of the evidence supports (claimant)'s claim, then your verdict should be for (claimant) and against (defendant). If you find for (defendant), you will not consider the matter of damages. But, if you find for (claimant), you should award (claimant) an amount of money that the greater weight of the evidence shows will fairly and adequately compensate (claimant) for the [loss] [injury] [or] [damage] that was caused by the intentional interference.
