Tortious interference - where one party (Automattic) interferes with a contractual relationship between two parties (WPengine, their customers), in this case by means of disparagement pushed to the dashboard of WPengine instances.
- Matticus_Rex 2y agoTortious interference requires that the interfering party induce the party to the contract to a breach of the contract. Where's that element?
