41 S.E.2d 183 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1947
The petition set forth a cause of action, and its dismissal on general demurrer was error.
The petition was dismissed on general demurrer, and that judgment is assigned as error.
The plaintiff did not sue Huey, the owner of the property, to recover his alleged commission due him under the contract with Huey, but it is evident that the action sounds in tort, and was brought upon the theory that the defendants maliciously conspired together to induce Huey to break his contract with the plaintiff, to the damage of the plaintiff. In such a case it is unnecessary to join with the two defendants other parties who may have participated in the conspiracy. "In all cases he who maliciously procures an injury to be done to another, whether it is an actionable wrong or a breach of contract, is a joint wrongdoer and may be sued either alone or jointly with the actor." Code, § 105-1207. In Luke v. DuPree,
In our opinion, the petition set out a cause of action; and the court erred in sustaining the general demurrer thereto.
Judgment reversed. MacIntyre and Gardner, JJ., concur.
