1.) Does Farmer have any claim(s) for damages against Pilot based on intentional tort? Discuss. Issue: The issue here is whether Farmer could prevail in court by filing a claim for damages against Pilot, based on the provisions of intentional tort law, and the five original intentional torts of 1.) Assault, 2.) Battery, 3.) Trespass to Land, 4.) Trespass to Chattel, and 5.) False Imprisonment.

An intentional tort is a person deliberately causing harm or loss to another person. Examples are trespassing, causing a nuisance and defaming are intentional torts.

Over the past decade, the increase in participation from recreational sporting activities to organized has increased significantly (Taniguchi, 2003). With more individuals taking part, the amount of injuries has escalated and the amount of negligent lawsuits soon followed. The courts have had to acclimate themselves and look at sporting injuries through the lens of tort law (Harvard Law Review, 2008). The landmark case in the state of California, Knight v. Jewett, the state supreme court upheld the original ruling that participants who knowingly cause injury to another contestant outside of the normal rules of conduct while participating in a sporting activity, are liable or negligent, changed the course how courts would rule in tort cases (Harvard Law Review, 2008). Hence, tort law is now a leading point of discussion in athletic and physical education departments in our local school districts (Taniguchi, 2003). Included in the discussion is intentional tort, when a player injuries another participant purposely (Wolohan, 2013). For intentional tort to be ruled on, three essentials must be present: 1.an injury must have occurred, 2. the cause of injury is due to a negligent act, 3. the act that caused the injury must be intentional (Wolohan, 2013). Thus, the merging of recreational activities, extreme sports, and physical education programs, intentional tort law will be looked at in the school setting.

Rule: Battery is the unconsented harmful or offensive touching with the intent to harm or offend. Leroy did intend to immobilize John when he grabbed him, but this was done in the defense of a third party.

Businesses could be held liable for negligent tort if their product injury, harms consumers or is falsely represented. Nonetheless, when the circumstances warrant, parties that are not guilty of negligence or an unintentional tort can still be subjected to compensations when their products injure customers (Seaquist, 2012) Recall Negligence is an unintentional tort wherein one party is injured result to some actions of another. There are certain factors that must be considered to determines whether a corporation acted negligently. The elements are the following: a breach of that duty, legal duty to use due care, a reasonable close causal connection between the breach and the plaintiffs resulting in injury, and the actual loss or damage to the plaintiff. This paper is going to discuss a negligent tort due to a company’s recall of its product. The company may be considered liable for negligence if there was no recall on their product and the product caused bodily harm to a consumer (Benjamin, 2015). Throughout the paper will discuss the reason of Toshiba recalling their laptop computer battery packs due to burn and because of its potential to catch fire on March 30, 2016 and the recall number is 16-131. If the company did not make the decision to recall their laptop computer battery could have been diligent. To prove the negligent tort the consumer must prove factors such duty to care and defenses of negligence (Seaquist, 2012).

Evaluate and discuss the potential liability (negligence or other torts) of the various parties in the scenario involving but not limited to Bobby, ACE Sports, the nurse, the surgeon and City General. (Avoid simply restating the facts/scenario. Incorporate them into your discussion.)

Specific intent: the intent to accomplish the precise act with which one has been charged

Issue: The second issue to consider is whether Amin could bring a claim of negligence against Bob & Patrick.

In order to make a prima facie showing of negligence, a plaintiff must show: “‘(1) that the defendant was under a duty to protect the plaintiff from injury, (2) that the defendant breached that duty, (3) that the plaintiff suffered actual injury or loss, and (4) that the loss or injury proximately resulted from the defendant's breach of the duty.’” Todd v. Mass Transit Admin., 373 Md. 149, 155 (2003) (quoting Muthukumarana v. Montgomery Cnty., 370 Md. 447, 486 (2002)). The first question—that is, whether and the scope of any duty the defendant owed to the defendant—is a legal determination that is to be resolved by the court. Valentine v. On Target, Inc., 353 Md. 544, 549 (1999) (“Generally, whether there is adequate proof of the required elements

No, because there are excessively many acts of interfering negligence on the part of the landlord. According to Tort law, it applies when one party neglect to act sensibly and hurt happens, despite the fact that the person did not plan to cause hurt; the gathering is at risk for any wounds or harms endured by another gathering because of the absurd direct (Melvin,2015). However, this class of tort is called negligence. The essential contrast between purposeful torts and carelessness is the outlook of the tortfeasor. At the point when a tortfeasor makes hurt a harmed party by making an absurd danger of mischief, the law gives the harmed party a cure paying little respect to the tortfeasor's purpose. The Restatements likewise perceive certain protections that might be stated in a negligence case. Factors of negligence the law requires that particular components be demonstrated with a specific end goal to recuperate in a claim against a tortfeasor for carelessness. The harmed party must demonstrate five major components by noting certain inquiries regarding the lead being referred to; Duty to find if tortfeasor owes an obligation of care to the harmed party? Breach of obligation: Did the tortfeasor neglect to practice sensible care? Cause actually: Except for the rupture of obligation by the tortfeasor, would the harmed party have endured harms?
