BLAW 320 TORTS
5-1. Bike Riding Sweet Sixteen
Dina, age sixteen, lives at home with her mother, Mary. Mary is
aware that Dina has recently exhibited a sometimes violent and
delusionary nature diagnosed as schizophrenia and has attacked
persons in the neighborhood. Medication that can control Dina's
behavior has been prescribed, but without Mary's knowledge,
Dina has stopped taking it.
After Dina stopped taking the medication, she approached a
neighbor, Paul, as he walked along the sidewalk fronting Mary's
home. Without provocation, Dina gestured threateningly at Paul
and screamed, "I know you're out to get me and I'm going to get
you first," and then left.
Paul, who had no knowledge of Dina's mental illness, phoned
Mary about the incident. Mary told Paul that "Dina has
sometimes made threats to others, but I do not think she will try
to hurt you and I assure you that this will not happen again."
Paul believed Mary's assurances and, for that reason, did not
seek to avoid Dina.
Mary questioned Dina about the incident, scolded her, and
asked if Dina was taking her medication. When Dina said she
was taking it. Mary did not pursue the matter.
Two days after Dina confronted Paul, Dina saw him raking
leaves which had fallen into the street fronting their adjoining
homes. Dina got on her bicycle and rode it as rapidly as she
could directly at Paul. Although Dina swerved away from Paul
at the last moment, Paul reacted by diving to one side. He
struck his head on the curb and suffered a severe concussion
and facial injuries.
Paul has sued Dina and Mary, alleging tortious causes of action.
1. Is Paul entitled to recover against Dina for:
a. Assault?
b. Battery?

2. Is Paul entitled to recover against Mary:
a. On the ground that Mary was negligent as to Paul?
b. On the ground that Mary is vicariously liable for Dina's
conduct?
5-2. Shopping Dispute
Superstore is a 24-hour grocery store. For safety reasons,
Superstore has installed bright lights in its parking lot that turn
on in response to loud noises. The lights turn on several times a
week, especially during the night, and have caused neighboring
homeowners to complain of loss of sleep and various adverse
health consequences.
One night, Ned and Carl exited Superstore, each carrying a
heavy bag. Ned is the publisher of a local newspaper and Carl is
a business consultant. As they exited, they accidentally bumped
into each other, each causing the other to drop his bag and spill
its contents. A loud argument ensued. Ned took several steps
toward Carl; Carl threw an orange at Ned and grazed his pant
leg without injuring him; and Ned punched Carl in the stomach.
The loudness of the argument caused the lights in the parking
lot to turn on. Soon, a Superstore security guard arrived and
restored order.
The next day, Ned published an account of the incident, calling
Carl a “coward and a liar.” Carl experienced a substantial
decrease in business consulting thereafter.
1. What tort claim or claims can Ned reasonably bring against
Carl, and what defense or defenses can Carl reasonably raise?
2. What tort claim or claims can Carl reasonably bring against
Ned, and what defense or defenses can Ned reasonably raise?
3. What tort claim or claims can the neighboring homeowners
reasonably bring against Superstore?

5-3. Diner Incident
Pam drove to Diner, a local restaurant, at about 5:00 p.m. When
she got out of her car in Diner’s parking lot, she was robbed at
gunpoint by an unknown assailant, who took her purse and her
cellular phone. Pam later discovered that she was not the first
victim of a crime in the Diner parking lot. In the past year, two
other customers had been the victims of auto burglaries, which
occurred while they were dining inside the restaurant. Diner put
two video cameras in the parking lot, but did not hire security
guards to patrol the parking lot.
As the robber began to flee, Pam wanted to get help and decided
to run into Diner to use one of its telephones. She hoped that by
calling “911” quickly, the robber could be apprehended and her
property returned. As Pam ran across the parking lot she tripped
in a large pothole and fell and broke her arm. Diner had not
repaired the pothole, although customers had been complaining
about it for weeks. All of the complaints were from customers
who had not spotted the pothole while driving, hit it, and
worried that their tires would be knocked out of alignment. The
pothole was readily visible to pedestrians. Had Pam not been so
panicked by the robbery, she likely would have noticed the
problem and avoided it.
When Pam entered the restaurant, she asked a waiter, Wayne, to
let her use Diner’s phone to call “911.” Wayne refused to let her
use the telephone. He said Diner’s policy limited use of the
telephones to employees making business-related calls and

strictly prohibited calls by customers. In fact, Pam later found
out that Wayne had misstated the policy, which included an
exception for emergencies. When Wayne refused, another
customer promptly called “911” for Pam, using his own cellular
phone. The paramedics and police arrived shortly thereafter,
enabling Pam to get immediate treatment. However, the robber
was never apprehended and Pam never recovered her purse or
her cellular phone.
Pam is suing Diner. Under what theory or theories might Pam
bring an action against Diner, what defenses, if any, might
Diner assert, and what is the likelihood Pam will be successful
in obtaining damages for:
1) The loss of her purse, her cellular phone, and her emotional
distress as a result of the robbery?
2) Her broken arm?
3) Exacerbation of her injuries due to Wayne’s refusal to allow
her to use Diner’s phone to call “911”?
5-4. Neighborhood Idiots
Abe wanted to cut down a tree that was growing on public
property bordering his house because he did not want to rake its
leaves. When Abe attempted to do so, Bill, who lived across the
street, demanded that he stop. Abe refused and, holding his saw
in front of him, took two steps toward Bill. Avoiding Abe, Bill
climbed high into the tree, insisting he would not come down
because he wanted to save the tree. Abe nevertheless sawed
through the trunk of the tree, which fell into the street with Bill
in it, causing Bill serious injuries.
Cindy, a passerby, rushed to help Bill. As she was assisting
him, she was struck by a car and sustained serious injuries.

Debbie, a neighbor, watched the entire incident from her front
porch and suffered severe emotional distress as a result.
1. Is Bill likely to prevail on any intentional tort claim against
Abe?
2. Is Cindy likely to prevail on a negligence claim against Abe?
3. Is Debbie likely to prevail on a negligent infliction of
emotional distress claim against Abe?

B. RECYCLING COLLECTION AND PROCESSING (“Section
2”)
Washtenaw County has a strong commitment to waste reduction
and recycling. Recycling is official
County policy and employees have been participating in a
program for over ten years.
Since 1997, the County's In-House Recycling Program has
consisted of a two-stream sorting
process, as follows:
Mixed Paper Mixed Containers Cardboard/Styrofoam
White Ledger #1 PET Plastic Bottles Boxes
Colored Ledger #2 HDPE Plastic Bottles Frames (Certificate)
Computer Print Out Milk Cartons Press Board
Copier & Laser Print Paper Drink Boxes (aseptic) Cups
Newspapers Steel Cans Containers
Magazines Aluminum Cans Peanuts/Popcorn
Boxboard Packing Materials
Blueprints
Envelopes
Materials are collected in County offices in corrugated boxes
lined with colored or translucent plastic
bags. Materials are then transported outside into 90-gallon
collection carts. Paper is generally
emptied into the carts loose, while rigid containers are kept in
the plastic bags. Historically, mixed
paper has represented over ¾ of materials collected. Typically,
over 180 tons of office paper is

collected from Washtenaw County facilities every year.
Cardboard has been collected and delivered
to the Comprehensive Drop-off Station at 2950 Ellsworth Rd.
approximately 4,042 un-compacted
cubic yards of cardboard were collected during 2009.
In addition to those items listed above, corrugated cardboard
and Styrofoam should also be
collected for recycling. County staff will flatten
cardboard/Styrofoam and place in a dumpster
provided by the Contractor. Please list items that are not
acceptable for recycling.
Washtenaw County’s In-House Recycling Program will:
Be easy to understand Foster high participation
Be easy to implement Achieve a high recovery rate
Be convenient for employees Produce high quality recyclables
Capture a variety of materials Track program performance (in
terms of yards or tons diverted)
The successful Contractor will:
1. Provide external collection containers as needed for
recyclables at each location (e.g. carts
or Dumpsters; may differ by location according to space
availability and contractor’s
collection method)
2. Collect recyclables on a regularly scheduled basis,
determined by the Contractor and agreed
upon by the County.

3. Work with the County’s In-House Recycling Program
Coordinator to ensure that materials
are sorted properly and according to specification.
4. Provide quarterly reports to the County’s In-House Recycling
Program Coordinator on the
volume or tonnage of materials collected.
5. Provide quarterly reports to Washtenaw County on the
composition of materials collected,
based on an internal audit of Washtenaw County materials.
6. Provide recycling of Styrofoam products.
