Answer to Question 1

A third party must interfere for an improper reason, such as animosity toward the plaintiff, and not for a valid business reason, in order to be held responsible for this tort.

Answer to Question 2

A defendant may be liable in damages for unreasonable behavior that results in severe emotional harm to the plaintiff, even though the defendant never meant to inflict any harm.
