No, I don't believe it would apply. Tortious interference is when you interfere with the contractual relationship itself. In this case the continued obligations is what would drive the economic harm, thus tortious interference wouldn't apply.

I was thinking more along the lines of criminal laws, I should have been more specific in my word choice.

The word "lawsuit", at least in American english, has the connotation of a civil rather than a criminal case.
