IMPERIAL ICE CO. V. ROSSIER
18 Cal.2d 33, 112 P.2d 631 (1941)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal form a demurrer for intentional economic harm.
Imperial (D), buyers, appealed a judgment in favor of Rossie (D), in P's' action that sought
to restrain D from inducing defendant seller to breach a covenant not to compete between P
and defendant seller.
FACTS: Imperial Ice Company (P) acquired title to an ice distributing business that
included a covenant for the original owner, Coker, not to compete. Subsequently Coker began
selling in the same territory, violating the contract. Coker was selling ice obtained from
Rossier (D). P brought an action to restrain Coker from violating the contract, and D from
inducing Coker to violate the contract. The trial court sustained a demurrer to the
complaint. P appealed on the ground that the complaint did state a cause of action against D
for inducing breach of contract.
