    To establish an invasion of privacy claim for public disclosure of private facts, a plaintiff must show that private facts were publicized and the disclosure would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. There is no liability for publishing photographs of someone in a public place. When a child commits a negligent act, the standard of care is that of a reasonable child of the same age, education, and experience, but an adult standard applies if the child engages in an adult activity. To establish a false light claim, a plaintiff must prove the defendant published facts placing the plaintiff in a false and highly offensive light to the public. Damages are required for negligence claims but not for battery, which only requires lack of consent to medical treatment.

    Torts: set 1
    To establish a prima facie case for invasion of privacy involving public
    disclosure of private facts about the P the P must show that the
    publication was of private information about the P and that its public
    disclosure would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. There is
    no liability for publication of matters occurring in a public place.A
    photograph of someone in a public place is not actionable no matter
    how widely it is disseminated.
    When the tortfeasor is a child, the applicable standard of care
    generally imposed by the courts in negligence actions that of a child of
    like age, education, intelligence, and experience. This permits a
    subjective evaluation of these factors. However, when a child is
    engaged in an activity that is normally on that only adults engage in,
    most cases hold that he will be required to conform to the same
    standard of care as an adult in such an activity.
    To establish a prima facie case for invasion of privacy baed on
    publication by D of facts placing P in a false light, the following
    elements must be proved: (a) publication of facts about P by D placing
    P in a false light in the public eye; and (ii) the false light must be
    something that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person under
    the circumstanced. A false light invasion can happen either on public
    or private property. Economics have no bearing on the action,
    emotional distress and mental anguish are sufficient damages.
    Damages are no presumed in negligence cases; there must be actual
    harm or injury. Punitive damages generally are not recoverable in
    negligence cases, unless the Ds conduct was reckless, malicious, or
    willfull and wanton. Nominal damages are not allowed for negligence.
    Even if there is a permissive use statute, one who is held liable for
    damages caused by another simply because of his relationship to that
    person may seek indemnification from the person whose conduct
    actually caused the damage.
    Contribution allows any D required to pay more than his share of
    damages to have a claim against any other jointly liable parties for the
    excess. Traditional contribution rules require all Ds to pay equal shares
    regardless of their respective degrees of fault.
    Prima Facie case for products liability based on negligence:1) legal
    duty owed by D to P, breach of duty( i) negligence conduct leading to

    ii) the supplying of a defective product by the defendant), )(( the P may
    invoke res ipsa loquitur against the manufacturer if the error is
    something usually does not occur without the negligence of the
    manufacturer)) actual and proximate cause, and damages
    In jurisdiction that distinguish between invitees and licnesees, a
    licensee is a person who enters land with the owners permission, for
    his own purpose or business rather than the owners benefit. The
    owner owes the licensee a duty to warn or make safe dangerous
    conditions known to the owner that creates an unreasonable risk of
    harm to the liceness and that the licensee is unlikely to discover.
    However, the owner has no duty to a licensee to inspect for defects or
    to repair known defects..
    If slipping or falling are no volatile acts, it cannot be said someone
    acted with the intent ot bring upon harm to whoever the person slips or
    falls on unless they know with substantial certainty that such harm
    wont occur.
    A minor child will be held liable for the consequences of his intentional
    tortious conduct. An actor intends the consequences of his conduct if
    he knows with substantial certainty that those consequences will result
    Torts- set 2
    To establish a prima facie case for interference with business relations,
    the following elements must be proved:1) existence of a valid
    contractual relationship between P and 3rd party or a valid business
    expectancy of P; 2) Ds knowledge of the relationship or expectance; 3)
    intentional interference by D that includes a breach of termination of
    relationship or expectancy, and 4) damage to P
    A complete absence of consent to a medical or surgical procedure may
    often constitute battery, which does not require damages. However, a
    nondiscluse of the risks of the procedure is characterized instead as a
    breach of a duty of care
    A landowner owes a higher duty of care to a child trespasser than to an
    adult trespasser. Under the attractive nuisance doctrine, a landowner
    has a duty to exercise ordinary care to avoid reasonably foreseeable
    risk of harm to children caused by artifial conditions on his property. To
    assess this special duty on the landowner 1_ there is a dangerous
    condition on the land of which the owner is or wshould be aware 2) the
    owner knows or should know that children frequent the vicinity of the
    dangerous condition 3) condition is dangerous because a child is

    unable to appreciate the risk 4) expense of remedying the situation is


    slighty compared with the magnitude of the risk. Child doesnt have to
    be lured, the basis of liability is on foreseeability. The lure aspect is
    only important as to show that the presence of children should have
    been anticipated.
    For defamation, communication element may be satisfied if the
    communication to the third party ( published) was intentional or
    negligent.
    For conversion, item doesnt have to be super damaged, you can still
    get it if it was substantially interfered with.
    A strict products liability action requires P to establish that 1) D is a
    commercial supplier, 2) D produced or sold a defective product, 3) the
    defective product has the actual and proximate cause of Ps injury,
    and 4) P suffered damage to person or property. If the product was
    dangerous beyond the expectation of the ordinary consumer OR a less
    danger alternative or modification was economically feasible, the
    supplied has supplied a defective product. Furthermore, while some
    products may be safe if used as intended, they may still involve serious
    dangeried is used in other ways, which courts require supplied to
    anticipate reasonable foreseeable uses and misuses. contributory
    negligence from the consumer failing to discover a defect or guard
    against its existence is not a defence to a products liability action
    based on strict liability in jurisdictions that dont apply comparative
    negligence. Assumption of the risk is a defense to strict products
    liability
