Question:
Jason owns and operates a company, ABC Ltd, which he wanted to position to successfully bid on a contract to supply security in federal prisons. In its call for tenders, the Department of Supply and Services included a condition that tenderers like ABC Ltd were to provide the names and qualifications of at least 25 senior security personnel who would service the contract.(The government’s goal with this condition was to ensure that the bidding company had the resources to deliver on the contract should it prove successful.)ABC Ltd had no such employees but a leading company in the field, Prison Security Services Ltd, had 45 highly qualified security personnel on staff. On the side, Jason convinced these employees of Prison Security Services Ltd to permit their names to be included in his company’s tender and to come to work for him immediately if the tender were successful. When Jason’s company proved to be the successful bidder, these 45 employees promptly joined his company. What tort has ABC Ltd committed? Explain.
