Stacey has worked for lawyer Larry for the last five years in his home office. Stacey does everything for Larry - receptionist, bookkeeper, secretary, paralegal, coffee girl, and sometimes even taking his laundry to the cleaners. Stacey is smart and very good with people, and indispensable to Larry's business. He sometimes took her to networking functions where she mixed and mingled with potential clients and talked up her boss. Since the economic downturn, some of Larry's clients have gone out of business and Larry's law practice has also suffered. Larry has told Stacey that if the business does not pick up, he would have to reduce her work hours. Stacey had taken some online courses in accounting and in her spare time, she has been studying the books to see how she can make the numbers look better. She inflated some billings and expensed some of Larry's personal bills through the firm accounts. Larry and Stacey began attending more functions to meet new potential clients. Stacey finds herself drinking and hobnobbing harder than ever before, sometimes staying on at the events even after Larry has left. One raw, rainy evening just before Christmas, after several drinks, Stacey found herself one of the last to leave a party at the golf club. As she was getting her coat, she found herself in the empty cloakroom where Brian, one of the potential clients she was talking to during the evening, told her that she looked ravishing and offered to help her with her coat. What transpired afterward would be described as inappropriate touching and some kissing. Stacey broke loose and ran to her car. Fumbling for her keys, she did not realize that she had dropped her smartphone in the parking lot. Understandably upset, she drove away hastily and, coming around a turn too fast down the dark country road, she crashed into a guardrail and passed out. A few minutes later, Meaghan and her one-year-old son, Sam were driving to pick up her husband (yes, that same two-timing Brian) from the Christmas party. Coming around the same turn, Meaghan did not see Stacey's stalled car and slammed into it. Sam was not properly secured to his car seat and was seriously injured. In all the turmoil over the past few weeks, Stacey had forgotten to renew her car insurance. Meanwhile, Stacey's smartphone was picked up by Brian. Feeling rebuffed by Stacey, he posted some personal, confidential, and proprietary information of Larry's clients from the smartphone on his website. IF YOU WERE THE JUDGE, HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE ON THE COMPETING CLAIMS, AND WHY? Possibilities: Here in this situation several unintentional and intentional torts have been committed against the body and the property. Let's discuss this case from a general overview: Stacey was wrong in committing the offense of manipulating the accounts of Larry's, for which she can be sued by Larry on the charges of infringement and misrepresentation of account's number on the claim that she did an intentional tort of negligence that caused a monetary damage to company's property Moreover, Meghan can't claim to recover the damage and damages caused to her and her son but here, because here Meghan owes the duty of care towards her son and Stacey was already passed out when Meaghan' car got hit so it was beyond the foreseeability and control of Stacey. However, this is not the point of focus. This case revolves around Stacey and Brian. Stacey has been found the victim of "Inappropriate touching and kissing" done against her will by Brian, as a result of which Stacey was placed under condition and urge of drink and drive, but here the fact that she was driving, the car with expired license can't be ignored as it is stated in the given case that she was getting ready to leave the party that implies she drove the same car to reach the party and was Negligent in fulfilling her responsibility of renewing her contract with insurance company. Thus, she is responsible for the loss or damage occurred to the property (Guardrail) as a result the accident occurred. Here Stacey is 'not only' liable to pay for the loss incurred to the other party, she also has to bear, the cost of her own treatment and the damage occurred to her car. But considering Stacey the victim she in a position to file a sue against Brian for the offense of "Sexual Harassment" and its consequence effect on Stacey's car accident also can sue him for the "Tort of invasion of privacy" as his act of posting some personal, confidential, and proprietary information of Larry's clients from the Stacey's smartphone on his website fulfils the elements of 'Invasion of Privacy, i.e. Reckless Intentional conduct, invasion of plaintiff's private affair without lawful justification and caused humiliation and Distress to Stacey and Larry's company.
