(i)induces another person to break a contract, interferes with the performance of a contract or induces another person to interfere with its performance, or
(ii)consists in a threat that a contract will be broken or its performance interfered with, or that any person will be induced to break a contract or interfere with its performance, and
(b)the provisions of this or any other Act which refer (whether in relation to contracts generally or only in relation to contracts of employment) to such an act.
