Precise Engineering Corporation has an agreement with Quik Mart Stores to provide customized software for Quik's inventory control system. Retail Outlets, Inc, Quik's competitor, induces Sam, a Precise subcontractor who is writing code for the Quik software, to deferral delivery of the code for one week. As a result, Precise's delivery of the software is delayed and Quik sustains $500,000 in lost profits. On what ground could Quik recuperate damages from Retail Outlets?
