Intentional Tort Law and IRAC System

Intentional Torts are defined as “voluntary acts that harm a protected interest” (McAdams, 2015, p. 279). The voluntary act must be found to be an intended act, done on purpose, even though the harm done by the act may not have been intended; however, the victim or plaintiff does not need to prove that the harm done was intended (p.279). In this particular case, was there an intentional act done by the airlines or pilot, which in turn caused injury to the plaintiff?

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).

“A tort is a civil wrong resulting in injury to a person or property”; that is brought before a court to compensate the injured party (Bagley & Savage, 2010, pg 251). In order to prove an intentional tort, the following conditions must be met:

In week three we were provided with two scenarios and were asked to analyze the tort actions found in both. The first scenario involves fans and participants at a football game; including a father and son, and angry fan, stadium workers, and other spectators. Actions that transpire include the spilling of beer on one fan by another, a shove of one fan of anther, a fall, injury, yelling, and repercussions of the stated actions.

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?

In order to completely understand the liability in negligence, there must be reasonable foreseeability present which includes three main “elements of negligence” They are Duty of Care, Breach of Duty and Remoteness of Damage (pg436-437 (8.220) Terry and Giugni) In addition the plaintiff must also satisfy the four traditional elements of negligence in order to have a claim; (pg 431 (8.140) Terry and Giugni)

“Sometimes intentional torts are legally justified; thus, the person engaging in the intentional tort is not liable to the victim. These are collectively called defenses to intentional torts. Defenses are commonly used by the defendant in a civil lawsuit to exonerate the defendant from liability to the plaintiff” (Okrent, 2009). There are several types of legal defenses to intentional tort, these are:

2001 saw the controversial Lepore decision handed down in the High Court of Australia. A majority ruling held that school authorities cannot be held liable for the sexual assaults of school children through the principle of non-delegable duty. Further, it was held that, although schools are vicariously liable for acts committed by teachers, such acts must be pursued in the course of their employment. Given the nature of sexual assault, it is seen to be so far outside the scope of employment that school authorities cannot be held vicariously liable.

Torts of negligence are breaches of duty that results to injury to another person to whom the duty breached is owed. Like all other torts, the requirements for this are duty, breach of duty by the defendant, causation and injury(Stuhmcke and Corporation.E 2001). However, this form of tort differs from intentional tort as regards the manner the duty is breached. In torts of negligence, duties are breached by negligence and not by intent. Negligence is conduct that falls below the standard of care established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm(Stuhmcke and Corporation.E 2001). The standard measure of negligence is the universal reasonable person standard. The assumption in this case is that a reasonable

In most cases the ‘but for’ test is the method used for establishing factual causation. ‘But for’ the defendant 's wrongdoing, the claimant would not have suffered damage.

The material elements test is crucial to cases relating to mesothelioma.
