In order to plead the cause of action, a plaintiff must allege (1) the existence of a valid contract; (2) the defendant's knowledge of that contract; (3) the defendant's intentional procuring of the breach of the contract; and (4) damages. The complaint will be dismissed where the plaintiff fails to sufficiently allege that, but for the defendant's conduct, the contract would not have been breached.
