Al, Bob, Carl, and Dolly were coworkers at Zco. Al, Bob, and Carl did not like Dolly
Question:
Al, Bob, Carl, and Dolly were coworkers at Zco. Al, Bob, and Carl did not like Dolly and wanted her fired from Zco.
On Monday, all employees of Zco were required to attend a mandatory meeting. Prior to the meeting, Al entered Dolly's office and told her not to leave her office until the meeting was over. He then said to her, "If you leave this office before the meeting is over, some of my friends and I will come to your home and beat you up." Al then left for the meeting. Dolly, scared for her safety, remained in her office, missed the meeting, and was reprimanded by Carl, her supervisor.
On Tuesday, Bob placed a sleeping pill in Dolly's coffee when Dolly was not looking. Dolly drank the coffee and fell asleep at her desk twenty minutes later. She slept for four hours, and was again reprimanded by Carl for sleeping on the Job and was fired from her job.
Under what intentional tort theories might an action for damages be brought by Dolly against Al, Bob, and Carl, and what are the likely results? Discuss.
