2. Use this fact pattern to answer this question and questions 3 and 4. Brandon is a partner at a large accounting firm. He prides himself on being a big practical joker. One day Brandon decides to play a joke on another partner, Lauren. Brandon knows that Lauren is deathly afraid of spiders because the last time she saw one, she had to be hospitalized for two weeks. Brandon waits until he and Lauren are alone in the office, and then quietly comes up behind her and gently places a fake spider on Lauren's head. Lauren is so busy on the computer that she is not even aware of what Brandon is doing until the spider slips off her head and lands on her desk. Lauren screams and faints. When Lauren faints, she bumps into Brandon causing him to fall and hit his head on the edge of the desk. Lauren lands right on top of Brandon's chest. Brandon saw her coming and felt apprehension but was unable to move out of the way in time to avoid her. If Lauren sues Brandon for intentional infliction of emotional distress, she: a. will lose since a "reasonable person" would not become so emotionally distressed over seeing a little spider. b. will lose since Brandon did not actually intend to upset her; he only wanted to play a little joke on her. c. may win. d. will win only if the court accepts the theory of negligence per se.| 3. If Lauren sues Brandon for assault and battery for putting the spider on her head, she: a. may win on the assault claim but not on the battery claim. b. may win on the battery claim but not on the assault claim. c. will lose on both claims since Brandon "gently" placed the spider on her head, i.e., it couldn't possibly have injured Lauren. d. will lose on both claims since Lauren assumed the risk of her injury by working for a such a practical joker. 4. Lauren finally wake up and realizes what happened. She looks at Brandon and says, "You are such a fool!". If Brandon sues Lauren for defamation, he: a. will win unless Lauren is able to prove Brandon is indeed a fool. b. will win since Lauren's comment sounded more like a fact rather than an opinion. c. will definitely lose. d. will definitely win. 6. Emily and Eliza are roommates. Emily has an important job interview the next morning and wants to be sure that she is the first one to take a shower in the morning. So, after Eliza falls asleep, Emily locks Eliza's bedroom door from the outside. The next morning, after taking her shower, Emily unlocks Eliza's door. Eliza slept soundly all night and never realized that she was locked in her room. If Eliza later learns what Emily did and files a false imprisonment claim against Emily, Eliza will: a. win because Emily intentionally confined her to her room. b. win unless Emily successfully assert the defense of "roommate privilege". c. lose. 8.
