agree  writeaway: yes, copy/paste straight out of Jurlex/it's marked in Jurlex as Belgian terminology and Asker is apparently Belgian. This is clear and gets the idea across.

neutral  Barend van Zadelhoff: Seems to be an awkward 'word for word' translation rather than appropriate legal terminology. Almost no Google hits and no authoritative hits. 'third-party complicity in breach of contract' = 6 G-hits, all Flemish! Red alert! /Tina: I disagree.

Tortious interference of contract


Explanation:
derde-medeplichtigheid
vorm van buitencontractuele aansprakelijkheid van een derde t.a.v. de ene contractpartij, die benadeeld is omdat de derde welbewust heeft deelgenomen of actief zijn medewerking heef verleend aan de contractbreuk van de wederpartij
[De Valks Juridisch Woordenboek]

[ref.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259452321_Derde-med...]

derde-medeplichtigheid aan andermans contractbreuk
- er moet een geldig contract tussen de contractspartijen
- een van de partijen heeft zijn verplichtingen op schuldwijze niet nagekomen
- de derde kende de contratuele situatie of behoorde haar redelijkewijze te kennen
- de derde heeft aan de contractbreuk actieve medewerking verleend of heeft eraan deelgenomen doordat hij op de hoogte was of redelijkewize behoorde te zijn, van hoe de zaken in hun werk zijn gegaan.

Wrongful or tortious interference with contracts refers to a situation in which a third-party intentionally causes a contracting party to commit a breach of contract. This may be accomplished through inducement or by disrupting a party’s ability to perform their contractual obligations. The purpose of tortious interference laws is to allow parties the freedom to contract with one another and fulfill their contractual obligations without third-party meddling.

Tortious interference of contract
A tort claim that a defendant convinced or caused a third party to breach its contract with the claimant which resulted in damages to the claimant.

Elements of the tort:
the existence of a valid contract between the claimant and a third party
knowledge of that contract by the defendant
Intent of the defendant to induce the third party to breach the contract with the claimant
Damage to the claimant caused by the breach

neutral  writeaway: perhaps a bit OTT given the context

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortious_interference You wonder since when it is no longer required to use the appropriate terminology, which is exactly the terminology that will be correctly understood by whom it may concern.

neutral  philgoddard: I prefer James' plain-English version, which everyone will understand. There's no need to use legalese.
