IK CORP. v. One Financial Place Partnership

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• acts forming basis of tortious interference claim must be directed at parties other than plaintiff
• plaintiff could not have reasonably expected to sign a contract where the contract was conditioned on execution of a definitive agreement
• “even where essential terms have been agreed upon, if the clear intent of the parties is that neither will be bound until the execution and delivery of a written [contract], no contract exists until execution and delivery”
• which indicates that the term “subject to” may denote a condition precedent depending on the surrounding context, but agrees with the underlying principle that to be construed as a condition precedent the intent to do so must be clear from the fact of the document
• requiring intentional and malicious interference to establish the tort
