A Question of Ethics: Wrongful Interference with a Contractual Relationship.
A Question of Ethics: Wrongful Interference with a Contractual Relationship.     White Plains Coat Apron Co. is a New York- based linen rental business. Cintas Corp. is a competitor. White Plains had five-year exclusive contracts with some of its customers. As a result of Cintas's soliciting of business, dozens of White Plains' customers breached their contracts and entered into rental agreements with Cintas. White Plains filed a suit against Cintas, alleging wrongful interference. [White Plains Coat Apron Co. v. Cintas Corp., 8 N.Y.3d 422, 867 N.E.2d 381 (2007)? (a) What are the two important policy interests at odds in wrongful interference cases? Which of these interests should be accorded priority? (b) The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit asked the New York Court of Appeals to answer a question: Is a general interest in soliciting business for profit a sufficient defense to a claim of wrongful interference with a contractual relationship? What do you think? Why?
