Is it illegal for a company that makes transistors to stop supplying a pacemaker company that they have a contract with?

[Edit]

Answer

depends on the contract. if they do "Have to" supply the company then the damages awarded by a judge would be great. read the contract though, it may not spell this out. if they "Don't have to" supply the company, then, the owner operator of the pacemaker company shouldn't have left him\herself do dependant on one individual component supplier. they should have left themselves an option.

Answer

It wouldn't be illegal as in 'call the cops and throw him in jail', but they could be held liable for damages in civil court IF they are in violation of a legally binding contract.
