Rock Co. v. Pennington Quarry Co., 22 N.J.Misc. 318, 322, 38 A.2d 869, 871 (1944) (“[A]n employee or officer of a corporation who acts in good faith and believes that what he does is for the best interests of the corporation in seeking to have the corporation breach its contract with a third party should be absolved from a suit of this character but the actions of the individual must be with justification.”). If an officer or director acts in good faith within the scope of his authority as an officer or director, then that officer or director cannot be considered a third party to any contracts made by the corporation and an action for tortious interference with contract cannot be maintained against him. The New Jersey cases cited by the Dutch Investors support this proposition. See id. (<HOLDING>); Sammon v. Watchung Hills Bank for Savings,
