Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inducing breach of contract occurs when someone intentionally causes another party to breach a contract with a third party. In this scenario, the new employer is potentially inducing the person to breach their employment contract with their current employer by leaving. Therefore, the current employer could pursue legal action for inducing breach of contract. The other options listed are not relevant in this situation as there is no indication of theft, breach of confidentiality, unfair competition, or breach of fiduciary duty.
