And only with a pious person and only when he did not get what he expected from him, did he approach the owner of the house with all sorts of empty claims.
In summary: the clear notice in Knopf's name that he is going to rent the place to another tenant, Ben Shachar's knowledge that the person concerned is a Hasid - as it derives from the preparation of the document in order to obtain his formal permission to remain in the leased property beyond the date agreed upon in the contract between him and Knopf - and the very negotiations with the appellant on this issue, lead, in my opinion, to the conclusion (according to the weight of probabilities that he will take in the civil proceeding) that he knows about the existence of a rental relationship between Hasid and Knopf. Or at least he closed his eyes so as not to know it, despite knowing the circumstances and facts from which it was possible to draw a conclusion in this vein. Therefore, there is in our case the "knowingly" component of the tort of causing breach of contract, within the meaning of section 62(a) ofthe Torts Ordinance.
"And without sufficient justification"
This was stated in the judgment that is the subject of the appeal (at p. 18):
"In addition, Ben Shahar did not act without sufficient justification when he did not vacate the leased property on April 30, 1971. Ben Shachar and his girlfriend had been living in the leased property already under a lease contract, and were in the process of completing the work of building the boat and manufacturing coolers for the army, and they had no practical possibility of vacating the leased property before they could take the boat out when it was finished and move with the coolers to another place they had purchased, after the renovation work there was finished. They did not evict the leased property not because they wanted to cause a breach of the contract between Knopf and Hasid... Rather, they had justified reasons on which they were not dependent, and when it was possible they left the leased property before the end of the year."
