Document Summary

This field of tort requires proof of intention which is different from the definition of intention in intentional torts. For intentional torts, it would suffice that the defendant intended to act in a certain way, whether he intented to cause harm/commit a tort or not. Ex: walking on private lawn and you not knowing that it was trespassing. The intention of you walking on that piece of land would suffice. For miscallaneous torts, the courts would be satisfied if the defendant intented to hurt the plantiff or at least know such an injury was was reseasonably forseeable. Conspiracy: usually occurs when 2 or more defendants agree to act together with the primary purpose of causing the plantiff to suffer a financial loss: if one person does conspiracy, it is not a tort. Intimidation: occurs when the plantiff suffers a loss as a result of the defendant"s threat to commit an unlawful act against the plaintiff or a thirdparty.
