b. Defendants' tortious interference with Crabtree's relationship with the town. The defendants also argue that as members of the board, they are indistinguishable from the town and cannot interfere with their own termination decision. Concluding that Crabtree's claims are against the defendants in their individual capacities, we disagree. Although a party to a contract cannot be found liable for interference with its own contract, see Schinkel v. Maxi-Holding, Inc., 30 Mass. App. Ct. 41, 50 (1991), and the defendants were members of the board, "there is no evidence that [the defendants] controlled the operation of the town to the degree that they should be viewed as its alter ego." Cachopa, 72 Mass. App. Ct. at 661. Here, the complaint contains sufficient facts to establish that the defendants are distinguishable from the town. Crabtree's pleadings also sufficiently allege that the defendants used improper means or motives to intentionally interfere with his contract with the town, and that he was damaged through such interference by his removal from his position.
