Manager of LLC signed promissory note to Plaintiff bank for $275,000 loan, for mortgage on commercial property (auto repair shop). Court properly granted Plaintiff bank’s motion for summary judgment in foreclosure action, as no evidence that Defendant was damaged by alleged tortious interference. Even if rent was “difficult for Defendant to collect, if tenants did pay Defendant, then no breach of contract, no cognizable harm, and no tortious interference. Thus, no factual support for claim of tortious interference. (PALMER and REYES, concurring.)
