In Anesthesia Services P.A. v. Anesthesia Advantage P.C., 2013 Del. Super. LEXIS 258 (Del. Super. Ct. June 27, 2013), Delaware Superior Court Judge Jane Brady determined that Delaware courts will not recognize a claim for tortious interference with existing or prospective contractual relations if the plaintiff does not establish actual or specific knowledge on the part of the alleged tortfeasor. The Superior Court refused to follow other jurisdictions' practice of allowing plaintiffs to meet the element of knowledge by establishing constructive knowledge through industry standards or by imposing a duty of inquiry on the defendant. The court further held that to establish the element of knowledge in a tortious interference with a contract claim involving restrictive covenants, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant knew of the contract generally and knew of the particular covenant as well.State AI Legislation Is on the Move in 2024
