Tortious interference means the wrongful interference with some right or economic opportunity belonging to a person which causes that person some monetary loss. It is usually used in connection with a business opportunity as where a person slanders or libels a person in order to hurt that person's opportunity to make some income in business. The tort of slander or libel will exist on its own to compensate the person for damage to his reputation; but there is the additional tort of wrongful interference with a business opportunity tp compensate the person for loss of income that would have been earned but for the wrongful action of the tortfeasor. Two separate types of damage; two separate torts.

Is tortious interference a civil case?
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.
