A Mississippi federal court let Goodnight Terminal Services and a general manager of a non-party supplier proceed with tortious interference claims against ASG Chemical Holdings, partially denying ASG’s dismissal bid.
The court found both plaintiffs plausibly alleged interference with contract and business relations, clearing the pleading stage on those claims.
It dismissed claims by the company co-owner and threw out the general manager’s business-relations claim, ruling they failed to identify independent contracts or business ties separate from their employer entities.
The order narrows the case to the claims tied directly to alleged interference with existing contractual or business relationships.
