1. Wrongful Interference. Su was a lead manager of the leadership development program for a national retail company called Solman. She'd made significant contribution to the program to train all store managers and had even received high praises from the company's CEO for the program's success. She and her boyfriend, Kai, decided to move from Wyoming to Washington state because they love the Pacific Northwest. She asked her company if they had a similar position with the company in Seattle. Her regional director answered in the negative, but told her there was a new operations project manager position to oversee the day-to-day operations of a cluster of stores. Solman was willing to transfer her to that position and pay for location if she signs a 3-year contract with them. Su did so and moved to Seattle. A year later, she was ready to get out of that position. She hated the job because it wasn't not challenging, but it requires her to put in a lot of hours. As a result, she couldn't spend a lot of time with her boyfriend, and they broke up. Su secretly started initiating contact in her network to explore career opportunities elsewhere. Bomington, one of Solman's biggest retail competitors, approached Su while fully aware that Su's contract with Solman was still effective for another two years. Bomington and Su maintained stealth communication six months, during which time Su stated that she intended to continue working for Solman until her contract officially ends, but she also expressed her interest in working for Bomington to kickstart its own leadership development program. Bomington knew that Su had also been talking to other companies and it might lose of her to one of its competitors. Bomington doubled its initial salary offer and promised her exclusive control of its leadership development program. Su finally agreed to terminate her contract with Soman. Bomington also promised Su that it would pay for all costs and fees associated with litigating the breach of contract. Solman sued Bomingtonfor tortuous interference with its contract with Su. Will the court agree with Solman that Bomington committed the tort of wrongful interference with a contractual relationship? Discuss.
