Obligations
The precise scope and language of the exclusivity clauses will be critically important to our analysis and must be obtained through discovery
Under California law, a UCL claim predicated on an "unlawful" business practice must be grounded in a violation of some other law; if the underlying tort claims fail, the UCL claim fails with them
Under California law, damages for breach of contract or tortious interference must be proven with reasonable certainty and cannot be based on speculation or conjecture
While the precise contours of the knowledge requirement are subject to some nuance — constructive knowledge or willful ignorance may suffice in some circumstances — the plaintiff must, at a minimum, demonstrate that the defendant was aware of the contractual relationship and its material terms
Independent Supplier Decision-Making Even if knowledge of the contractual relationship is established, Vantor must also demonstrate that Cascade engaged in intentional acts designed to induce a breach of the Vantor–Supplier agreements
We must obtain copies of the actual termination notices and confirm the timeline of notice vis-à-vis the execution dates of the Cascade agreements
