Opinion
WIENER, J.
Defendants La Rancherita of La Jolla, Inc. (La Rancherita) and Louis Martinez (Martinez) appeal from the judgment awarding damages to plaintiffs based on the tort of intentional interference with a contractual relationship. The factual setting of this *77case—the commercial dealings between a landlord and tenant—requires the drawing of the line between sophisticated negotiations necessary to strike a better deal and economic constraints on those negotiations imposed by the tort of inducing breach of contract. We affirm the judgment.
