Hаrry аnd Wilmа are married but are fighting оver custоdy оf their minor children in an acrimonious marital dissolution proceeding. Harry believes that a favorable ruling of custody for him is more likely if he can show that Wilma engaged in improper or illegal behavior. Harry appeared in a crowded courtroom for a trial setting conference in the marital dissolution proceeding. His leg was heavily bandaged and he was using crutches to walk. When the judge called the case, Wilma stated that she was ready for trial but Harry asked for a continuance to allow him to receive needed physical therapy. When asked about the bandaged leg and crutches, Harry told the judge that Wilma had hit him with her car when he came to the family home to visit the children. Harry added that he was going to file a criminal complaint while in the courthouse against Wilma. The judge agreed to continue the trial setting conference for 90 days while Harry obtained physical therapy and the potential assault and battery was investigated and prosecuted, by the district attorney. Harry filed a criminal complaint with the prosecutor’s office against Wilma. She was arrested, charged and released on her own recognizance. Harry posted pictures – on Tell-It-All, a large social media platform with over 5 million users - of his bandaged leg and an old picture of Wilma dressed as a witch at a past Halloween party. The text accompanying the pictures contained allegations that “my wife” had tried to kill him. The investigator for the prosecutor’s office learned that there never had been any suggestion of violence between Harry and Wilma and that there was no evidence of damage to Wilma’s car or that Harry had sought medical treatment in connection with the alleged incident. The prosecutor obtained a dismissal of all charges against Wilma. Wilma then sued Harry for malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and defamation. What is the likelihood of Wilma prevailing on each of the claims alleged in her civil action? Discuss fully.
DiаMed is оne оf the lаrgest phаrmaceutical cоmpanies marketing a broad spectrum of pre-diabetes and diabetes medications. DiaMed has recently researched, developed and is selling a new prescriptive drug for the early prevention of diabetes. It is advertising the drug in pill form as “the modern, safe and effective means of preventing Type 2 Diabetes.” During the pre-approval clinical trials, DiaMed learned of a remote risk of permanent loss of eyesight associated with the use of the pills but did not issue any warnings. Pam is a pre-diabetic and saw the advertisement for the DiaMed pills. She asked her physician, Doc, to prescribe the pills for her to delay the onset of diabetes. When DiaMed announced FDA approval of the pills, Doc was concerned that the ingredients in the pills might have an impact on eyesight. He was invited to attend a presentation by DiaMed for physicians about the clinical trials and the side effects of the pills but he was too busy to attend. He told Pam that he was unsure about any risks to her eyesight but that he had not heard any reports from DiaMed about loss of eyesight by users of the pill. And, he added, “it was the most modern, safe and effective way of preventing Type 2 diabetes on the market today, so I’ll give you a prescription.” After she started taking the pills, Pam experienced vision problems and within a few months she was on the verge of completely losing her eyesight. She stopped taking the pills and saw another physician who advised her to undergo surgery to restore her eyesight. Pam has filed a products liability action against DiaMed and a malpractice action against Doc. As to each action, what is the likely outcome? Discuss fully.
