It's a term that is - and has- been thrown around in rather cavalier fashion, as a way of saying the other side impinged on your turf.
But it is first and foremost a term that has legal significance, it is somewhat of a hybrid between a number of different legal doctrines, and therefore shares - or borrows - from them, that has led to a significant amount of confusion in defining exactly what tortious interference is - and what it isn't.
In order to fully appreciate the viability - or not - of a potential tortious interference claim, these causes of action need to be evaluated against the backdrop of several related claims.

Too often, people break their word.
And as a result, many people are left without any recourse to recover what they are owed after they've been wronged.
Some of these people who have been wronged can recover what they've lost and never pursue it because they don't know that New York will, in limited circumstances, allow recovery even if you didn't have a written or signed agreement.
That's right; New York law provides that there are several circumstances when there is no valid, written agreement, a party can still recover her losses, and perhaps restored to her original position - before the parties entered into their arrangement.

If you've been wronged by an employee, and you feel like they've betrayed your trust, your first inclination might be to think that they may be liable to you for breach of fiduciary duty.
In most cases, the answer - at least under New York law - is no; fiduciary relationships are only created in very limited circumstances.
And here is another, very important tidbit of information: you can't (successfully) bring a breach of fiduciary claim if it is based on the same set of facts as a breach of contract claim.
