Gray, Anthony (2019) Sponsor pressure to discipline employees who have unexpressed unwelcome views and reform of the business torts in Australia. Australian Business Law Review, 47 (5). pp. 349-363. ISSN 0310-1053
Abstract
This article considers the dispute involving allegations of sponsor pressure on a sporting organisation to manage a particular employee to discuss the broader issue of reform of the so-called economic torts in Australia. There remains continued confusion and uncertainty in the Australian law regarding the possible tort of interference with contractual relations, its relation with another tort of inducing breach of contract, as well as other business torts such as conspiracy and intimidation. It is argued that the time is ripe for the business torts to be simplified and rationalised in Australia around one central concept.
