Answer:
Generally, actions that harm others or their property are considered a tort, which is a private wrong that can lead to legal action for damages. If someone intentionally interferes with your contracts or your ability to earn a living, this may be classified as tortious interference. To prove this, you typically need to show that the person acted intentionally and without legal justification, persuading another party to breach a contract with you.
