[Image description: photo of a textbook sidebar, entitled ‘interference with a party’s performance’. “In The Little Mermaid,” it reads, “Flotsam and Jetsam, agents of Ursula (the Sea Witch), tipped over Ariel’s (the little mermaid’s) boat just as she was about to kiss the prince and fulfill the terms of her contract with Ursula. By interfering with Ariel’s ability to satisfy the terms, Ursula breached an obligation of good faith. If Ariel had a good lawyer, Ursula would not have been able to insist on the contract terms.”]
