Following Woods v. Fox Broadcasting Sub. Inc. (2005) 129 Cal.App.4th 344 and Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp. v. Actelion, Ltd. (2013) 222 Cal.App.4th 945, not PM Group, Inc. v. Stewart (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 55, this decision holds that a claim for intentional interference with (or inducing breach of) contract may be stated against any defendant that was not a party to the breached contract, even if the defendant had some social or economic interest in the contract. Thus, in this case a subcontractor could sue the project owner for interfering with the subcontractor’s agreement with the prime contractor, to which the owner was not a party–even though the owner had an obvious interest in the subcontract for construction work on its property.
