The TCB Story Keeps on Going...TCB has filed a lawsuit against Jane Perez who wrote scathing reviews about the coffee shop on Yelp, Angie's List and has even started a blog, "Why TCB Sucks". TCB claims that the online reviews cost the business $30,000 worth of business and the owner was personally humiliated. The complaints included comments about the quality of the coffee, the taste of the coffee, and that the drinks were "too cold." There were comments about the cleanliness of the bathrooms and a statement about a cockroach. Keeping in mind the intentional tort theory, answer the following questions. 1. What must TCB prove for intent? 2. What facts support TCB's allegation of intent? 3. What is the most likely intentional tort claimed by TCB? 4. What are the elements that must be proven in court? 5. Who has the burden of proof in this case and what is the burden of proof? 6. What would be Jane's likely defense? 7. Are there any other intentional torts that may be applicable here? Which one and why
