Milio is having coffee in a coffee house when he sees jordan, who is the dean of a midwest business school. milio used to teach at jordan's prior school and was considered a very valuable faculty member. they haven't seen each other for years, and jordan has no idea what milio has been doing or where he's currently working. she tells him that she has a position for him if he's interested. the next day milio quits the university he's under contract with and signs a contract with jordan's school. jordan's school can be sued for tortious interference with existing contractual relationship.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Tortious interference occurs when a third party intentionally interferes with an existing contractual obligation between involving two parties. Usually the third party's intervention will cause economic injury to one party that is involved in the contract.

In this case, Jordan hadn't seen Milio for several years and met him accidentally at a coffee shop. Since she knew he was a very good teacher, she offered him a job, but she wasn't aware of where Milio worked or even if he was working at all. Jordan did actually interfere with Jordan's current contractual relationship but didn't do it intentionally and she didn't try to cause any harm.

Based on the scenario, it is considered to be false. The school of Jordan won’t be sued for tortious interference with existing contractual relationship because it doesn’t even prove that the person involved had intentionally damage one’s contractual or business relationship of which Jordan didn’t even engaged to.
