Torquay Hotel Co Ltd v Cousins [1968] EWCA Civ 2 (BAILII) [1] is a UK labour law case concerning the liability of a union when its members take industrial action. In it Lord Denning MR invented a new economic tort for interference with a contract. This was not there before, because economic torts had only existed where the result of some action was unlawful, for instance the breach of a contract, intimidation (see (1793) 1 Peake 270) or conspiracy to injure. The House of Lords has subsequently rejected the existence of a separate tort for interference with a contract which can be constituted without unlawful actions or without a contractual breach.
