Chapter 7

Question 1: The Penguin intentionally hits Batman with his umbrella. Bat- man, stunned by the blow, falls backward, knocking Robin down. Robin's leg is broken in the fall, and he cries out, "Holy broken bat bones! My leg is broken." Who, if anyone, has liability to Robin? Why?

Question 4: Claude, a creditor seeking to collect a debt, calls on Dianne and demands payment in a rude and insolent manner. When Dianne says that she cannot pay, Claude calls Dianne a dead- beat and says that he will never trust Dianne again. Is Claude liable to Dianne? If so, for what tort? Explain.
