References and the law.

I quit a job earlier this year because of a toxic boss. I simply couldn't stand it anymore. Since then I have applied for around 200 jobs locally, and whenever I get to an interview stage, I get ghosted. I have been 100% honest on my resume about why I left my last position. I have a horrible feeling my previous boss is trying to sabotage my job search. I've just been ghosted again tonight after some awesome pre-interview chats and emails. Nothing. No phone call, won't reply to emails. Nothing. What is the law regarding a previous employer doing this? I obviously cannot be certain right now, but should I come across a written confirmation that my previous job's reference was the cause, what can I do?
