Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Allison operates a pizza establishment and has run into difficult economic times. Just when Allison feels that her business was finally going well, a new pizza place opens nearby. Allison cannot stand the thought of again facing bankruptcy of a business that she has worked so hard for. Allison contacts the suppliers of the new pizza place and tries to convince them not to deal with the new place. The credit worthiness of the new restaurant is lied about, and the moral character of the owner called into question. What torts has Allison committed? What defense(s) might she assert? What ethical issues are presented by Allison's behavior? How can they be resolved?

It depends if Allison makes a good New York- or Chicago-style pizza. If she can't, she has no defense.

When you are admitted to the Bar, are you going to disclose to all your clients that you got your law school assignments written by other people in stead of you? This is clearly a law school assignment question.Try answering it yourself based upon your studies and readings. Good luck.
