Ms. Sander can likely maintain a claim for IIED against Coach Marinelli, on behalf of her son, Barry Sander; IIED is recognized, in Florida, as an independent cause of action. In order to prove IIED, four elements must be satisfied. First, we must prove that Marinelli’s conduct was intentional or reckless and that he knew or should have known that Barry would be emotionally distressed. Second, we must show that Marinelli’s conduct was outrageous. Next, we must demonstrate that Marinelli’s conduct caused Barry emotional distress and, finally, we must show that Barry’s emotional distress was severe. Dominguez v. Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, 59. Assuming that the other three components are fulfilled, Ms. Sander’s case will hinge primary on the second element of IIED: Marinelli’s outrageous conduct. I. Outrageous Behavior It will be difficult to definitively show that Marinelli’s conduct towards Barry was outrageous. Florida defines outrageous behavior as conduct that goes “beyond all bounds of decency, and to be regarded as odious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.” Dominguez 59. In order to show that Marinelli’s conduct was outrageous, we must, based on Florida precedent, examine several characteristics that can make behavior outrageous. First, we will examine the purpose of the words themselves. We will then turn to Marinelli’s position of authority and consider the influence of this position on his behavior. Finally, we will
The facts of this case illustrate the importance of considering the victim's perspective. Analyzing the facts from the alleged harasser's viewpoint, Gray could be portrayed as a modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac wishing no more than to persuade Ellison with his words. There is no evidence that Gray harbored ill will toward Ellison. He even offered in his "love letter" to leave her alone if she wished. Examined in this light, it is not difficult to see why the district court characterized Gray's conduct as isolated and trivial (Ellison v. Brady,
Can plaintiff Ron Arnett state a claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED) under Pennsylvania law given that Arnett was located twenty feet from the accident that injured Sarah Nolan, saw Ricky Landis running toward the pool and realized immediately after the impact what had happened, but viewed the impact while underwater; and though they share an emotional bond, Arnett and Nolan are not biologically or legally related?
Statement of Assignment: You have asked me to prepare a legal memorandum on the question of whether our client can gain relief from intentional infliction of emotional distress occurring from witnessing a friend¡¦s child being injured by a vehicle that is out of control due to being driven at a high rate of speed through a school zone. Pursuant to your request, this memo includes an analysis of the relevant state and federal law.
The Queens District Attorney’s Office charged the Swinton’s with first-degree assault, claiming the parents knew or should have known the diet would endanger IIce’s life. Also they had failed to seek medical attention. The opposing side’s lawyer argued that IIce being premature was the main cause of IIce’s medical state. The Swinton’s argued they did care for their child, they did not intentionally harm her and should not be deprived of their parental rights. The jury of the New York Supreme Court found the Swinton’s guilty of first-degree assault as well as lesser charges of reckless endangerment and endangerment of the welfare of a child to the first-degree.
Intentional infliction of emotional distress - the Court states that because Texas law places a duty on Briles and McCaw, the Plaintiff 's negligence claim will fill any gaps.
Joel Feinberg, defines the Offense Principle as “ it is always a good reason in support of a proposed criminal prohibition that it is probably necessary to prevent serious offense [as opposed to injury or harm] to persons other than the actor, and would probably be an effect means to that end if enacted.” (Feinberg, 1984). I believe that this principle serves as the best way to analyze R. V. Keegstra. There are many factors that fall under the Offense Principle, such as extent, duration, social value of speech, the ease with which it can be avoided, the motives of the speaker, the number of people offended, and the general interests of the community at large, however, I will only touch a few. Based off of these factors, Keegstra and Zundel should be prosecuted, but not those from “Go Yankee, go”. Zundel and “Go Yankee, go” are to be discussed in a later section of this essay.
6. Holding: As stated in the case: “one who, without a privilege to do so, by extreme and outrageous conduct intentionally causes severe emotional distress to another, with bodily harm resulting from such distress, is subject to liability for such emotional distress and bodily harm even though he has committed no heretofore recognized common law tort.”
3. As a proximate result of Brad's wrongful and unlawful conduct, Richard suffered physical and emotional injuries worth the sum of $200,000.
2) For year 1 the new system depreciated by 20 percent. Multiply that by the net initial investment and you get the total amount depreciated after 1 year, equal to $60,588. With a 36 percent tax rate you get the depreciated tax savings of $21,812.
28) The Plaintiff was on paid Administrative leave for over 6 months. Which was damaging his career and relationship with his children.
However, I was shocked by Mr. Sundstrom's decision to play God, and how Mr. Sundstrom's depended on my death. Coupled with the racist lawyers, I thought I hired to litigate the injustice, instead the racist lawyers accepted the case with the intent of preventing litigation. Accordingly, while my son's actions certify as dirty, the racist lawyers actions certify as filthy dirty. Furthermore, a year after hiring Kirby, Gilbert and Ashley, LC to represent me in litigating Petitioner and FMRS, I discovered Mr. Kirby's mother-in-law, is FMRS clinical director, Jennifer Hamrick, officer for the mental health facility. By the time I fired Kirby, Gilbert and Ashley, open sores covered my right arm---a direct result of picking due to extreme stress. The horrible scars remain almost two years after firing the unapologetically racist law
The first element of Ms. Nordlund’s claim is based on her relationship with the victim, her half-sister, Deanna Sumner. The element specifies that the plaintiff and victim be closely related. The term “closely related” covers relationships such as children, siblings, grandparents, parents, and those who live in the same household. Blanyar v. Pagnotti Enters., 679 A.2d 790, 793 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1996). The plaintiff in Blanyar witnessed his cousin drown. The Court ruled against the plaintiff’s claim of negligent infliction of emotional distress, factoring in that the relationship was too distant. Id. This was despite the plaintiff and victim having a very close relationship. This ruling does not directly address Ms. Nordlund’s relationship
In Perry v. Central Bank & Trust, 812 S.W.2d 166 (Ky. Ct. App. 1991) it was reasoned as to whether the parties exercised due diligence concerning the suit and answering the summons. It also stated that carelessness by a party or his attorney is not reason enough to set an entry aside. Ky. Civ. R. 55.02. With that said, It can be argued, that Dr. Furlow fully intended to answer the complaint within the twenty 20 days; but was prevented from doing so, because of the trauma his family suffered at the hand of robbers the day before meeting with us. We can also argue that he had reason of an extraordinary nature justifying relief as contained in ground (f) Ky. Civ. R.60.02.

The Ninth circuit applies a subjective analysis to all threat statutes, the analysis can either be subjective or subjective and objective depending on what the threat statute calls for. (1117) The objective analysis under 18 U.S.C. § 879(a)(3) requires a reasonable person to find the statements as a true threat, in addition to the fact finder interrupting the surrounding circumstances paying close attention to the reaction of the audience and conditional words. (1119).
