Question:
Vianna Stibal owns and operates the ThetaHealing Institute of Knowledge (THIK) in Idaho Falls, Idaho. ThetaHealing is Stibal’s “self-discovered” healing method. To induce people to take THIK classes, Stibal claimed that she had been diagnosed with cancer and had cured herself using ThetaHealing. This was false, and Stibal knew it. Her medical records did not confirm a cancer diagnosis. Believing Stibal’s claim, Kara Alexander traveled from New York to Idaho to pay for, and attend, classes in ThetaHealing. Later, Alexander filed a lawsuit in a state court against Stibal, alleging fraud. What are the elements of a cause of action for fraudulent misrepresentation? Do the facts in this situation meet these requirements? Discuss your answer.
