Is tortious interference a civil case?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. All torts are civil cases. That is not meant to imply that you wouldn't break a law at the same time as committing a tort; that is sometimes the case.

For example, a customer was angry at an RV dealer in our town. He parked his car right in front of the shop with a giant sign reading 'don't buy from Bob'. A court ruled that was OK. No law was broken, no tort committed. Then the guy got a bullhorn and began shouting insults and saying 'don't buy, don't buy' when people went to sign a contract. That was tortious interference. Finally, he began coming onto the RV lot to stop customers from buying. That was tortious interference and it was trespassing.
