Yet, the recent Rea v Rea decision reaffirms that, proving coercion remains key for undue influence claims and emphasises the complexity of such cases.

The typical situation in which a defendant is liable for tortious interference with contract is when a defendant prevents a third party from performing its contract with the plaintiff. But a defendant may also be liable for tortious interference when it prevents the plaintiff from performing its contractual obligations with a third party.
On October 7, 2024, Justice Melissa A. Crane of the New York County Commercial Division issued a decision in EXRP 14 Holdings LLC v. LS-14 Ave LLC, Index No. 652698/2022, holding that a defendant may be liable for tortious interference with contract when the defendant causes the plaintiff to breach its own contract with a nonparty, explaining: See the full link: https://lnkd.in/e27bXqDE

Justice Skarica delivered oral reasons. Transcript/Canlii post to follow. The key takeaways: -Effectiveness of counsel is far more important than years of experience – advocacy is an art form. Junior lawyers’ hourly rates approved at $550 -A smoothly run, efficient trial is a factor when considering the quantum of costs -The pre-judgment interest rate may be deviated from when interest rates increase substantially from the CJA rate
Following our successful jury verdict in Hamilton in October, Justice Skarica has just ordered the Defendant to pay ~$1.1 million for costs, disbursements & interest. Of significance is his ruling that the pre-judgment interest rate be increased from .08% to 3%. The hourly rates of trial counsel were also approved at $925 and $550. The total amount owing is ~$2.2 million & the offer made by the Defendant before trial was $650k, all inclusive.
