Legal Arguments/Issues: The case revolved around whether the registration of a Certificate of Pending Litigation (CPL) by NRI Solutions Ltd. constituted an "unlawful act" for the purpose of the tort of intentional interference with economic relations. The Chohan Respondents attempted to add NRI as a third party in a lawsuit claiming that NRI's actions in registering the CPL interfered with their ability to sell a property.

Held: The appeal was allowed. The court found that the third party notice filed by the Chohans failed to plead the requisite elements for the tort of intentional interference with economic relations, specifically failing to establish an unlawful act committed against the Walia Respondents. Additionally, the third party notice lacked sufficient material facts to support the claim.

Background:

• CPL Issues: NRI Solutions initially filed a CPL against the property owned by the Chohan Respondents due to allegations of embezzlement by Mr. Chohan, which was initially dismissed due to technical deficiencies. A second CPL was filed after these deficiencies were corrected.
• Property Sale: The Chohan Respondents had a contract to sell the property to the Walia Respondents, which could not be completed due to the CPL.
• Legal Action: The Walia Respondents sued the Chohan Respondents for breach of contract. In response, the Chohan Respondents sought to add NRI Solutions as a third party, blaming them for the failure to complete the sale due to the second CPL.

Costs/Award: The appellant, NRI Solutions Ltd., was entitled to costs both in this appeal and in the court, amount not specified.
