TRINITY LAW SCHOOL TORTS 1 – LA 541 TUESDAY AND THURSDAY WEEKDAY SECTION MIDTERM EXAMINATION PROFESSOR DANA C. CLARK Essay No. 1: Bob and Pam had been dating for several months. Pam decided to end the relationship but wanted to soften the effect on Bob. Therefore, Pam invited Bob over to her home for dinner. Pam and Bob had dinner in the dining room. When dinner was over, Pam invited Bob into the living room and told him that she wanted to talk to him. When Pam told Bob she wanted to end their relationship Bob became enraged. Bob picked up a heavy glass ashtray that was sitting on the coffee table and threw it across the room. The ashtray shattered when it struck the rock fireplace. The rock in the fireplace that was struck by the ash tray was chipped. Becoming frightened, Pam stood up. When Pam stood up, Bob pushed Pam violently in the chest with his open hands causing Pam to fall backward. As Pam fell backward, she struck the back of her head against the coffee table and was rendered unconscious. Bob then dragged the unconscious Pam across the living room to a coat closet located off the entry way. He placed Pam in the coat closet and closed the door. Bob then left Pam’s home, but on the way to his car, Bob scratched the paint on Pam’s car which was sitting in the driveway. When Pam regained consciousness in the coat closet, her head hurt and she was in the dark. Pam panicked and began to scream and cry. However, when she pushed against the door of the coat closet it opened allowing her to exit the coat closet. Pam has come to you for advice. Advise Pam of all the causes of action that she has against Bob in the order they occurred, defining each. Discuss fully using element by element analysis the facts that support each of the elements of each cause of action. Also, note any elements that may be lacking in those causes of action.
