Charles M. Campbell, Respondent v. Moody B. Gates, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's denial of the defendant's motion to dismiss, holding that the complaint sufficiently alleged facts to state a cause of action for intentional interference with a contract. The court applied the rule from Lamb v. Cheney & Son that a third party who knowingly induces a contractual breach is liable for damages.
