Assignment #1: Torts Hypothetical's This assignment is one question. It's worth 15 percent of your final grade. I am marking your thinking process and how you identify, analyze and apply the torts knowledge/tests to the situations below.

1. You are walking to George Brown College along King Street just past Jarvis. You are on your way to Business Law class and are now on George Brown campus. Person B, is a pet-walker, and is also walking to GBC with a gila monster and pelican on separate leashes. It was about 8:30 am. At this time, two Volvo transport trucks are driving down King Street with Hlio Gracie doing the "most-epic of splits" between them. Moreover, at this time, a bouncer, Wade Garrett from Gabby's Pub (est. 1989) was blind-sided by a bottle of Jack Daniel's (or John Daniel's, depending on how well Wade knew him) as he was throwing out an intoxicated individual. Wade stumbled out onto King Street and was hit by Tony Montana driving his car. Seeing he hit Wade, and trying to be a "Hero", Tony stuck his head out the car window and exclaimed to Wade, "if my car's messed up, you better have a will," and "streets are for cars." Tony angry at Wade for ruining his car, pulled out a weapon, and said to him, "you better have insurance, life insurance." Hlio Gracie, seeing that Wade was in trouble, conducted the ultimate veteran move and jumped down from the two Volvo trucks and applied a simultaneous "rear naked choke" and "arm bar" to Tony and forced him to calm down (tap out). A calmer Tony Montana, more relaxed, approached Person B and her pet pelican and stated, " here pelican, pelican, pelican," petting it calmly. As Tony petted the pelican, he was bitten by the gila monster. As he was bitten, an angry mob rushed out at him from the Cooking Lab with Ginsu knives and stabbed Tony Montana in the abdomen, which can be fatal. Gila monster bites can also be fatal. Tony Montana then died. While seeing this, Brad and Angelina who were at TIFF, walked by and saw the whole incident. They got freaked out; both had strokes (medically confirmed afterwards) and divorced immediately. At one moment Brad passed out for 6 hours, to which Angelina just stayed there creepily staring at him while he was KO'd. Wade, Wayne and Hlio seeing how creepy the staring was were terrified that Angelina was going to turn into a gargoyle and eat them - so they simultaneously attacked her - resulting in significant abdomen and facial injuries. After this situation, Brad never recovered and developed a confirmed mental disorder resulting in him smoking one-thousand (1000) darts and four (4) bags of ketchup/salt and vinegar chips daily. This caused him to go Val Kilmer and lose his acting career.

Discuss the tort liabilities at play.

I have attached an example of what needs to be done.

The student, seeing the blood and the large piece of glass, immediately went into cardiac arrest... ended up dieing of cardiac arrest..." Intentional Torts . Assault & Battery - fear of harm coming soon (glass flying through the air to abdomen), then the un-consented physical touching of the glass last touched by Wade hitting the student in the abdomen Negligence .Damage = Yes - student was hit with piece of glass, cardiac arrest, died . Duty = Yes - in a bar fight, people around could get hit by pieces of glass - no public policy reasons to negate this duty Breach of Duty = Yes - a reasonable person in a bar fight would not have used a piece of glass to jab in the face of another person Factual Causation = But for the conduct of Wade Garrett, the Student would NOT have been injured! Thus - there was factual causation! Legal Causation = Wade should have been legally responsible for these damages as these injuries are not too remote to come from a large piece of glass - thus legal causation is there Therefore - Wade Garrett is liable to the Student for the damages.
