Podcasts about torts

Harmful contact results in actual injury or pain, while offensive contact is contact that would offend a reasonable person's sense of personal dignity.The core requirement for intent in intentional torts is acting with the purpose of causing a specific consequence or knowing with substantial certainty that the consequence will result. It does not require malice.If a defendant intends to throw a rock at Person A (assault) but instead throws it onto Person B's land without permission, the intent to commit assault transfers to trespass to land, making the defendant liable to Person B for trespass.Public necessity allows interference with property to prevent a greater harm to the public and is a complete defense (no compensation owed). Private necessity allows interference to prevent a greater harm to the defendant or a small group, but the defendant must pay for any damage caused.The majority (Cardozo) view states that a duty of care is owed only to those within the zone of foreseeable harm. The minority (Andrews) view states that a duty is owed to everyone as long as the conduct poses a general risk of harm.The Hand Formula (B < P x L) is an algebraic representation used to help assess breach of duty in negligence by comparing the burden of precaution (B) to the foreseeable likelihood of loss (P) multiplied by the probable magnitude of loss (L). If the burden is less than the likely cost of the loss, taking precautions might be deemed reasonable.The "but-for" test for cause in fact asks whether the plaintiff's harm would not have occurred "but for" the defendant's negligent conduct.Res ipsa loquitur is a doctrine that allows a jury to infer negligence when an accident is of a type that usually doesn't happen without negligence, the instrumentality of harm was under the defendant's control, and the plaintiff didn't contribute to the harm. It might be applied in cases like a barrel falling from a window or a surgical tool left inside a patient.According to the provided text, landowners owe no duty to undiscovered trespassers.Two examples of abnormally dangerous activities subject to strict liability are blasting and storing flammable liquids in quantity in an urban area.

The four essential elements of common law defamation are: (1) a defamatory statement, (2) the statement was "of or concerning" the plaintiff, (3) the statement was published to a third party, and (4) the plaintiff suffered damages as a result.Libel is defamation in written or other tangible form and is generally actionable without proof of special damages. Slander is spoken defamation and typically requires proof of special damages unless it falls under the category of slander per se.Actual malice is defined as knowledge that a statement was false or reckless disregard for whether it was true or false. This high standard applies to public officials and public figures in defamation claims due to First Amendment considerations.Intrusion upon seclusion occurs when a defendant intentionally intrudes upon the solitude, seclusion, or private affairs of another in a manner that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. An example is unauthorized wiretapping of a private phone line.The key element in appropriation of name or likeness is the defendant's use of the plaintiff's name, image, or identity for a commercial purpose without the plaintiff's consent, thereby exploiting the economic value of their identity.To establish intentional interference with contractual relations, a plaintiff must show: (1) a valid contract, (2) the defendant's knowledge of the contract, (3) the defendant's intentional acts to induce a breach or interfere with the contract, (4) an actual breach or disruption, and (5) resulting damages."Scope of employment" refers to activities that an employee is hired to perform, occur substantially within the authorized time and space limits of their job, and are motivated, at least in part, by a purpose to serve the employer.One exception to the rule that employers are not liable for independent contractors' torts is when the activity involved is inherently dangerous, meaning it poses a significant risk of harm that cannot be eliminated by reasonable care.The single publication rule states that all copies of a publication are treated as a single publication for the purposes of a defamation action, limiting the number of lawsuits that can arise from widespread dissemination of the same defamatory material.When a private individual sues for defamation involving a matter of public concern, they must generally show at least negligence on the part of the defendant. To recover presumed or punitive damages, they typically must demonstrate actual malice.

This lecture comprehensively explores four distinct areas of tort law. Defamation protects reputation from false statements, outlining its elements and constitutional limitations. The four privacy torts—intrusion upon seclusion, appropriation, public disclosure of private facts, and false light—safeguard personal autonomy and identity. Economic torts, including interference with contracts and prospective advantage, address wrongful interference with business relationships. Finally, vicarious liability examines how responsibility for tortious acts can extend to others through relationships like employer-employee.

To establish a prima facie case of negligence, a plaintiff must prove duty, breach, causation (both actual and proximate), and damages. These four elements demonstrate that the defendant had an obligation, failed to meet that obligation, and that failure directly and foreseeably caused the plaintiff to suffer actual harm.The Cardozo view of duty, primarily from Palsgraf, holds that a defendant only owes a duty to those persons within the zone of foreseeable harm resulting from their conduct. In contrast, the Andrews view argues that a duty is owed to everyone if the defendant's conduct creates a general risk of harm, regardless of direct foreseeability.A professional, such as a doctor, is held to the standard of care of a reasonably prudent member of their profession under similar circumstances. This objective standard considers the knowledge, skill, and care ordinarily possessed and exercised by professionals in that particular field or specialty.Res ipsa loquitur, meaning "the thing speaks for itself," allows a jury to infer negligence when the event is of a type that ordinarily does not occur without negligence, the instrumentality causing the harm was in the defendant's exclusive control, and the injury was not due to the plaintiff's own action. An example is a surgical instrument being left inside a patient after an operation.The "but for" test is used to establish actual cause, requiring the plaintiff to show that but for the defendant's negligent act, the harm would not have occurred. The "substantial factor" test is applied in cases with multiple sufficient causes, where the defendant's conduct is considered a cause-in-fact if it was a significant contributor to the resulting harm.Negligence per se is a doctrine where violation of a statute that was designed to protect a particular class of persons from a specific type of harm is considered conclusive evidence of breach of duty. For this doctrine to apply, the plaintiff must be within the protected class, and the harm suffered must be of the type the statute intended to prevent.Generally, there is no legal duty to affirmatively act or rescue someone in peril, even if it can be done safely. However, an exception exists when there is a special relationship between the parties, such as a parent and child or a common carrier and its passengers, which creates a duty to take reasonable steps to aid the other.A landowner owes a licensee a duty to warn them of known dangers on the property that are not obvious. However, the landowner has no duty to inspect for unknown dangers or to make the premises safe for the licensee.Under pure comparative negligence, a plaintiff's recovery is reduced by the percentage of their own fault, regardless of how high that percentage is. In contrast, modified comparative negligence allows a plaintiff to recover only if their fault is below a certain threshold (usually 50% or less), otherwise their recovery is barred.The three main categories of activities or things for which strict liability is typically imposed are abnormally dangerous activities, wild animals (and sometimes domestic animals with known dangerous propensities), and defective products (under the theory of strict products liability).

This lecture on torts law explains the fundamental principles of negligence, outlining its four core elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages, alongside related doctrines such as res ipsa loquitur and negligence per se. The text details various standards of care and methods for establishing breach, including the Hand formula. It further analyzes causation and the requirement of actual harm for negligence claims. Finally, the lecture transitions to strict liability, discussing its application to abnormally dangerous activities, animals, and defective products, and briefly mentions defenses applicable to both negligence and strict liability.

Each month, a panel of constitutional experts convenes to discuss the Court’s upcoming docket sitting by sitting. The cases covered in this preview are listed below.Kennedy v. Braidwood Management (April 21) - Appointments Clause; Issue(s): Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit erred in holding that the structure of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force violates the Constitution's appointments clause and in declining to sever the statutory provision that it found to unduly insulate the task force from the Health & Human Services secretary’s supervision.Parrish v. United States (April 21) - Federal Civil Procedure; Issue(s): Whether a litigant who files a notice of appeal after the ordinary appeal period under 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a)-(b) expires must file a second, duplicative notice after the appeal period is reopened under subsection (c) of the statute and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4.Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Zuch (April 22) - Taxes; Issue(s): Whether a proceeding under 26 U.S.C. § 6330 for a pre-deprivation determination about a levy proposed by the Internal Revenue Service to collect unpaid taxes becomes moot when there is no longer a live dispute over the proposed levy that gave rise to the proceeding.Mahmoud v. Taylor (April 22) - Religious Liberties, Education Law, Parental Rights; Issue(s): Whether public schools burden parents’ religious exercise when they compel elementary school children to participate in instruction on gender and sexuality against their parents’ religious convictions and without notice or opportunity to opt out.Diamond Alternative Energy LLC v. EPA (April 23) - Standing, Redressibility; Issue(s): (1) Whether a party may establish the redressability component of Article III standing by relying on the coercive and predictable effects of regulation on third parties.Soto v. United States (April 28) - Financial Procedure; Issue(s): Given the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s holding that a claim for compensation under 10 U.S.C. § 1413a is a claim “involving … retired pay” under 31 U.S.C. § 3702(a)(1)(A), does 10 U.S.C. § 1413a provide a settlement mechanism that displaces the default procedures and limitations set forth in the Barring Act?A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools, Independent School District No. 279 (April 28) - ADA; Issue(s): Whether the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Rehabilitation Act of 1973 require children with disabilities to satisfy a uniquely stringent “bad faith or gross misjudgment” standard when seeking relief for discrimination relating to their education.Martin v. U.S. (April 29) - Supremacy Clause, Torts; Issue(s): (1) Whether the Constitution’s supremacy clause bars claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act when the negligent or wrongful acts of federal employees have some nexus with furthering federal policy and can reasonably be characterized as complying with the full range of federal law; and 2) whether the discretionary-function exception is categorically inapplicable to claims arising under the law enforcement proviso to the intentional torts exception.Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings v. Davis (April 29) - Civil Procedure; Issue(s): Whether a federal court may certify a class action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3) when some members of the proposed class lack any Article III injury.Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond (April 30) Establishment Clause, Education Law, Federalism and Separation of Powers; Issue(s): (1) Whether the academic and pedagogical choices of a privately owned and run school constitute state action simply because it contracts with the state to offer a free educational option for interested students; and (2) whether a state violates the First Amendment's free exercise clause by excluding privately run religious schools from the state’s charter-school program solely because the schools are religious, or instead a state can justify such an exclusion by invoking anti-establishment interests that go further than the First Amendment's establishment clause requires.

Il est né dans le maquis camerounais en 1957, un an avant que son père soit assassiné par l'armée française... le 13 septembre 1958. Daniel Um Nyobe, le fils du leader indépendantiste Ruben Um Nyobe est notre invité ce matin. Alors qu'est paru fin janvier le rapport de la commission Cameroun sur le rôle de la France au Cameroun dans la lutte contre les mouvements indépendantistes, il appelle désormais le président français à « assumer les faits » et à reconnaître la responsabilité de la France dans la mort de Ruben Um Nyobè et de ses camarades. Il témoigne aussi sur son parcours, marqué par le combat de son père. RFI : Daniel Um Nyobé, suite à la publication du rapport de la Commission Cameroun, qu'est-ce que vous attendez aujourd'hui ?Daniel Um Nyobé : C'est la reconnaissance des faits, la responsabilité du gouvernement français de l'époque dans ce qui s'est passé. Et, éventuellement, présenter des excuses et mettre en place un processus de réparation. Cette histoire-là, il faut l'assumer, sinon ça va être une histoire politicienne.Cette histoire, c'est aussi la vôtre, Daniel Um Nyobe, puisque vous êtes né dans le maquis, un an avant l'assassinat de votre père.De la date du 13 septembre 1958, je reste le seul survivant. Donc ce jour-là, non seulement Ruben Um Nyobe a été assassiné, mais son plus proche collaborateur Yem Back a été également assassiné. Ma grand-mère maternelle, Ruth Ngo Kam a été aussi assassinée. Et il faut dire qu'au moment de cet assassinat, j'étais à côté d'elle, ce qui fait que j'ai ramassé une balle. Symboliquement, je me dis que dans le rouge du drapeau camerounais, j'y suis aussi pour quelque chose. C'est aussi mon sang qui y est versé.Par la suite, dans quelles conditions vivez-vous avec votre mère ? Comment est-ce qu'on fait pour vivre ou survivre lorsqu'on s'appelle Um Nyobé dans ces années-là ?C'est très très très difficile. Donc, on vit du peu qu'on a des récoltes des champs, et tout ça, c'est dans la misère. Mais bon, il faut quand même avouer qu'on avait certains sympathisants qui de temps en temps passaient nous donner quelque chose et tout ça.Vous avez mis plusieurs années à oser aller vous recueillir sur sa tombe ?Oui, c'était interdit. On y allait la nuit. Je me rappelle les premiers jours, c'était la nuit, clandestinement. Il fallait le faire, ç'avait une valeur pour moi.Est-ce que vous avez envisagé de changer de nom ?Non, surtout pas. C'est une fierté pour moi d'avoir été le fils de cet homme-là !En 1991, une loi a réhabilité plusieurs leaders indépendantistes, dont votre père. Qu'est-ce que ça a changé, est-ce que c'est suffisant ?Ça n'a rien changé. Bon, là, on peut prononcer son nom, on peut prononcer le nom de ses camarades, on peut se revendiquer de lui. Mais, dans les discours officiels au Cameroun, on ne cite pas ces noms-là. Rien n'est fait, il n'y a pas de lieux de mémoire. J'envisage de transférer la tombe à Boumnyébel, parce que ce sont les assassins qui ont choisi le lieu d'enterrement à Ezéka. Donc, voilà pourquoi j'aimerais ramener cet homme-là. Mais au mois de novembre dernier, je suis allé, j'ai seulement mis une seule plaque indicative pour dire que, bientôt, la tombe de Mpodol [surnom de Ruben Um Nyobè, NDLR] sera installée à cet endroit. Dans la journée, j'ai eu la visite, cinq fois, des gendarmes et des policiers.Aujourd'hui, l'UPC, le parti fondé par votre père, est profondément divisé. En mai 2017, vous avez été désigné premier vice-président de l'une de ses branches, celle dirigée par Bapooh Lipot qui est considérée comme proche du président Paul Biya. Pourquoi ce choix ?Ça, c'est quelque chose qui m'a été imposé comme ça, mais je n'ai jamais exercé de fonction de premier vice-président.C'est de la récupération ?Oui, oui, je crois. On ne confondra jamais l'UPC, le parti nationaliste qui a revendiqué l'indépendance, avec tout ce qui est fait aujourd'hui. Il y en a qui le font par conviction et d'autres qui le font par opportunisme.En 2018, on vous prête d'avoir appelé à voter pour Paul Biya ?Je l'assume, parce que je croyais que c'était son dernier mandat. Je me disais, avec l'âge, l'expérience qu'il a, avant de partir, on pouvait mettre en place quelque chose plus tard. Ça n'a pas été le cas.Mais que répondez-vous à ceux qui estiment que soutenir Paul Biya revient en fait à trahir la mémoire de votre père, dans le sens où lui-même est héritier direct de ceux qui ont été placés au pouvoir au détriment des vrais indépendantistes ?Alors ça, c'est le tribunal de l'histoire. Et moi, je suis de ceux qui pensent que, tout être humain peut changer, pour l'intérêt du pays.En 2018, vous pensiez qu'il poserait un geste s'agissant de votre père ?Ah oui !  Il avait dit à ma mère : « Je poursuis le travail commencé par votre mari. » Donc, j'attendais quelque chose venant de lui. Je m'attendais quand même à ce qu'on facilite le transfert des restes de ces personnes-là, qu'on cite leurs noms dans les discours, qu'il y ait des lieux de mémoire, les dates de commémorations, tout ça. Si je vous dis que je ne suis pas déçu, c'est que je suis un menteur. À lire aussiLe rapport sur la colonisation française au Cameroun remis au président Paul Biya

Mike, Manny and Dan return to talk the Flyers firing Torts, the triumvirate of leadership structure and what comes next for the front office, do you have faith in Briere, were the last few years a waste of time? More!

The two core elements for intrusion upon seclusion are: (1) the defendant intentionally intruded, physically or otherwise, upon the solitude or seclusion of another or his private affairs or concerns; and (2) the intrusion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.Physical intrusion involves a tangible invasion of a private space, such as breaking into someone's home. Nonphysical intrusion involves less tangible but still invasive conduct, like wiretapping a phone line or using a drone to peer into someone's backyard.A reasonable expectation of privacy means that the plaintiff actually expects a certain degree of privacy in a particular place or situation, and that this expectation is one that society is prepared to recognize as legitimate. A person typically has a reasonable expectation of privacy in their own home."Use...for the defendant's benefit" in appropriation means the defendant gains some advantage from using the plaintiff's identity, which is often commercial but can also include benefits like increased fundraising for a charity using a celebrity's endorsement without permission.The "newsworthiness exception" in appropriation generally protects the use of a person's identity in news reporting or matters of legitimate public interest, arguing that the public's right to know outweighs the individual's right to control their identity in such contexts.False light primarily addresses the emotional and dignitary harm caused by the public dissemination of false or misleading information that places an individual in an offensive light. This differs from defamation, which focuses on harm to an individual's reputation.A statement could be technically true but create a false light if it is presented in a misleading context. For example, using an old photograph of someone at a protest to illustrate a news story about a completely unrelated and controversial current event could falsely imply the person's involvement or stance on the current issue.The "actual malice" standard in false light cases requires the plaintiff to prove that the defendant knew the information was false or acted with reckless disregard for its truth or falsity. This higher standard of fault typically applies when the plaintiff is a public figure or the matter involves public interest, balancing free speech concerns with privacy rights.A key difference is that false light requires a "public disclosure," meaning the information must be widely disseminated. Intrusion upon seclusion, however, does not require any disclosure; the tort occurs at the moment of the invasive act itself.The tort of appropriation of name or likeness, particularly for celebrities and public figures, can evolve into the "right of publicity," which recognizes the commercial value of an individual's identity as a property right that they can control and profit from.

Thibs could be on the hotseat if things don't go well in the playoffs, with recently fired Nuggets head coach Michael Malone available. If they don't get out of the first round or get swept in the second round Thibs could be gone. The Rangers will no doubt have a new head coach next season. NHL head coaches get fired all the time and get rehired again. It's a retread coach league. Some people think Torts will be back. Why do we keep firing coaches we know are good? Shouldn't we get rid of the players instead?

Believe me, I tried to work even MORE into that title (I couldn't come up with a clever enough Cory Booker reference). But folks, it's yet another week of Philadelphia sports topics and professional amateur analysis, courtesy of Mike, Bob and Jeff. First, it's all about the DUM DUM Tush Push potential BANNING controversy happening at the league meetings. Don't believe the malarkey about player safety, they don't really care. They hate us cuz they ain't us, is pretty much it.Next, it's the home opening week for the Phillies, and we highlight a player who has been busting out with some impressive stats, due to more playing time. Is it SOSA FEVER time? Maybe. It's early April.Then we discuss the John Tortorella firing as HC of the Flyers. We understand the reasoning, and we look forward to another former Flyer likely to replace him. Really, I think the Flyers plan is to find any former Flyer or Phantom and give them a job. Maybe not a bad plan!Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

It has been a week since the Flyers relieved John Tortorella of his coaching duties and this team looks very different. The boys are gonna discuss that very topic and more as they break down the firing and recent success of the Flyers. Matvei Michkov has been white hot since the game in Toronto putting up 8 points in his last 4 games. Is this a result of Brad Shaw letting his run free? Also, what was the breaking point for Danny Briere to fire Torts 9 games before the end of the season? Drop your comments in the chat and be a part of the show and discuss the game! The Flyers have a vacancy at Head Coach. There were rumors that Torts wasn't gonna be back after the season due to the fact he didn't sign an extension before the season. There was also speculation he could have found his way up into the front office to work with Danny Briere and Keith Jones.
