Read 'FACTS" (below), and write about it as described below. Type or paste your answer into the text box and be sure to push the button "submit assignment" at the very bottom after you do.

FACTS: Paul Plaintiff has a business deal with Diane Defendant. Diane owes Paul $10,000 that is due (under law, she must pay him) now. Paul calls her and says she must pay. Diane says no, she will not pay anything, and she will come to Paul's office next week and break his legs. Diane says Paul must be at his office next Monday, 10:00 a.m. to meet her or she will break his arms too. As a result, he cannot sleep and cannot focus at work. In your writing, list each of these 4 TORTS:

BATTERY, ASSAULT, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, INFLICTION OF MENTAL DISTRESS.

For each one of the 4 TORTS, write whether, in these FACTS, the tort happened (the tort's elements happened) or not.

Part example of a written ANSWER: "The ELEMENTS of BATTERY are

(1) Intentional conduct by D

(2) causing

(3) Harmful or offensive touching of P.

Here, we can say Diane's conduct [describe what she did] was intentional because [explain] ....

We can say she [did/did not] cause a harmful or offensive touching to Paul because [describe the facts that show it did or did not happen].

So, [after going through each of the elements of this tort] we can say [that is, conclude that] BATTERY [did happen/did not happen]."

Do this for each of these four TORTS.
