Question

Kojo, a LifeCare Medical Supplies salesperson, follows Malin, a salesperson for National Medco Products, a LifeCare competitor, as Malin visits medical clinics, doctors’ offices, hospitals, and other locations to make sales. Kojo solicits each of Malin’s customers. Kojo is most likely liable for​:

Answer 1

Answer: the options are given below:

A. no tort.

B. ​wrongful interference with a business relationship.

C. conversion.

D. trade libel.

The correct option is B.

Explanation: From the question above, we can see that LifeCare Medical Supplies and National Medco Products are business rivals or competitors in the same industry, and Kojo works for LifeCare, while Malin works for National Medco.

The actions of Kojo will therefore be counted as a ​wrongful interference with a business relationship, this is because Kojo is specifically targeting the exact customers that Malin has sold to, thereby interfering with the relationship that Malin already has with the customers.
