In the tort of conspiracy by lawful means, what must be the predominant purpose of the combination?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

For lawful-means conspiracy, the predominant purpose of the combination must be "To cause damage to the claimant.", and damage must result. The acts need not be independently unlawful, and a predominant purpose "To protect the combiners' legitimate interests." or "To promote the combiners' legitimate economic interests." does not establish this tort merely because another person suffers loss.
