The claimant alleged that when exercising its power of sale under a mortgage over its land, the mortgagee had done so in order to override the claimant’s intention of granting a sub-lease, and that this was a tortious intention to induce a breach of contract.
Held: The claimant’s appeal failed. The respondents intended to produce a result which they believed themselves entitled to achieve. It was not enough merely to have intended an act from which the loss resulted; it had to intend that loss. That requirement was not satisfied here.
