Utah Tortious interference with prospective economic relations

The elements of the tort of interference with potential economic relations are:

1. Defendant intentionally interfered with potential economic relations
2. for an improper purpose (predominant purpose was to injure the plaintiff—can be outweighed by legitimate long-range interest in further one’s own economic condition) or by improper means (violence, threats or other intimidation, deceit or misrepresentation, disparaging falsehood)
3. causing injury to plaintiff
