o allege specific facts representing the elements of defamation.

Monetary Losses, Reduced Rentals and Legal Consultation, Loss of Tenant's Good Will
The plaintiff's claim for lost rental income, owing to his allegedly being obliged to placate his tenant in order to retain her good will, falls into the category of tortious interference with his lease contract. In 9 to 5 Fashions, Inc. v. Spurney, 538 So.2d 228 (La.1989), the Supreme Court held that under certain narrow circumstances claims for tortious interference with contract would be henceforth entertained in Louisiana. Tortious interference is an intentional act by a corporate officer that causes a party to breach a contract or that makes performance of it more burdensome, more difficult, or impossible, or of less value to the performer. It is not a negligent act. Furthermore, the claim is not actionable where the corporate officer has reasonable justification for his action, acting within his scope of corporate authority and believing the action would benefit the corporation. See also Tallo v. Stroh Brewery Co., 544 So.2d 452 (La.App. 4th Cir.1989) writ denied 547 So.2d 355 (La. 1989).
The facts pleaded by Frisard do not place his claim within the limits set out in Spurney; consequently we find no error in the trial judge's ruling.
