Practice question
A claimant proves only that a competitor benefited economically from a transaction, without establishing knowledge of the contract or unjustified inducement. Does that benefit alone establish Article 1314 liability?
- Always
- Every profit is malicious
- Only if the transaction is large
- Only if a stranger dislikes it
- No; the required knowledge and unjustified interference must still be proved
