By August 17, BNSF had discovered justifiable, specific concerns about their business
relationship with SEMO following the initial stages of the investigation. These troubling
irregularities involving procurement and billing for non-emergency work that occurred outside
the scope of contractual specifications threatened BNSF’s fiscal health. Considering this, the
undisputed facts show BNSF was not acting without justification when suspending business
relations with SEMO, withholding payment pending the investigation, asking RJC to likewise
audit and review records for fiscal irregularities, as well as directing BNSF employees to cease
business activities with SEMO, thus negating the necessary element of SEMO’s claim for
tortious interference. See Fischer, 586 S.W.2d at 315; Pillow, 564 S.W.2d at 280; Hanrahan, 752
