S. C. Posner Co., Inc., Appellant v. Emanuel A. Jackson, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and affirmed the Special Term's dismissal of the complaint, holding that the plaintiff's complaint did not sufficiently allege the elements required for an action for intentional interference with an employee's contract. The court affirmed that a cause of action requires proof of an express contract, the defendant's knowledge of its importance, and a willful malicious intent to injure the employer.
