Reeves v. Hanlon Cal. S. Ct. No. S114811

The California Supreme Court holds that interference with an at-will employment contract is properly analyzed as a tort of interference with a prospective economic advantage (i.e. does not require the existence of a contract) because the interference has to do with the future relationship.

Judgment AFFIRMED. (Unanimous)
