The elements of a cause of action for tortious interference with a contract are (1) the existence of a valid contract between the plaintiff and a third party; (2) the defendant's knowledge of that contract; (3) the defendant's intentional procurement of a third-party's breach of that contract without justification; and (4) damages. The plaintiff must further allege facts that are sufficient to show that the contract would not have been breached but for the defendant's conduct.
