Case Analysis : ' Jerk And A Liar ' And ' Dr. Peters '

Improved Essays
With Sam and Dr. Peters, it was an incident that could have been avoided altogether if the two men communicated better and cleared up information when they bumped into each for that brief moment in the market. As Sam came to seek an analysis on the recent business transaction it is best to look at all events that had partaken and move in from there.

When it comes to Sam and Dr. Peters they both, in terms, can deal with civil or criminal capacity. For Sam, he can be liable in both civil and criminal. For civil it is due to the Libel, “the spreading of damaging statements in written form, including pictures, cartoons, and effigies” (Liuzzo, 2016, p. 52). That is because he had written the later that was published in the newspaper calling Dr. Peter a “Jerk and a liar”. For criminal it is because of the Sam broke in Dr. Peters Dental office committing a burglary, because he was illegally entering with purpose to committing a crime (Liuzzo, 2016, p. 52), which can also be charged as a felony, which is a crime punishable by imprisonment in federal or state for a year or more (Liuzzo, 2016, p.52). Now for Dr. Peters he can be liable for civil capacity because of the pretense of the verbal contract that was discussed on November 2.

Since a verbal contract was created Dr. Peter would be a defendant if Sam decided to put him through a civil trial. If this becomes a bench trial, where only a judge is involved, Dr. Peter may win because those it was a verbal contract it

    Whitfield who was accused of contacting Dr. Brock for advice in the treatment for Anita admits that he “described generally the injuries of Plaintiff and the type of treatment Affiant was then giving the Plaintiff, in which Dr. Brock did indicate he thought the treatment to be correct.” It is important to note that Dr. Whitfield never stated the Plaintiff’s name, making him unaware of the patient who received the treatment. In support of Dr. Brock, Whitfield stated that Brock was never employed by him or the Plaintiff to provide care or treatment to the Plaintiff’s injuries. The exchange between Brock and Whitfield was asserted by the court that “mere discussion between professional people of hypothetical situations cannot be viewed as a basis for liability.”…

When he opened his hotel, he bought everything on credit. “He had no intention of paying his debts and was confident he could evade prosecution through guilt and charm.” Surprisingly, he managed to keep many possessions without spending any real money and didn’t have to face any furniture dealers or anyone “whom Holmes had cheated over the previous five years” for a long time.

    When Jeanette called the hospital regarding how she was having difficulty breathing and the receptionist failed to respond back to the doctor and Jeanette about the patient symptom so it was the receptionist and hospital responsibility to train every employee with policies and regulation since it failed to do so it can be conducted as a civil case. The second step Is it balanced? Yes, Jeanette case does have an advantage over the hospital and the receptionist. The patient called the office concerning about a life-threatening symptom instead of leaving Jeanette unseen she could’ve called the paramedics to check Jeanette places. The hospital does not have advantage over Jeanette case because most likely the hospital can be sued for not following the policy and regulation of not treating a critical patient as first priority.…

    Regents of the University of California, there is without a doubt someone other than Poddar to be held liable, but on-ly the regents of the University of California should be liable, not Poddar’s therapist (Dr. Moore) and not the campus police. The campus police shouldn’t, and were not held liable because the claim against them is that they released Poddar after “knowing” he was a danger to Tarasoff, yet there is a difference between an assumption and having proof, and if the police would have continued to have held Poddar they could have had a lawsuit against them for false imprisonment, which is to restrain someone against their will and without reasonable cause. Poddar’s therapist, Dr. Moore, shouldn’t have been held liable (although he was in this case) because he did attempt to take action against Poddar’s threats, but was obligated to consult with his supervisor (Dr. Powelson), who advised to contact the campus police, and when nothing came of that, to then rip up the proof that he had against Poddar (his notes from the sessions). Dr. Moore did everything within his power to protect Tarisoff, and if he would have taken further measures to do so he would have risked possible termination from his employer for not obeying his su-perior, a possible lawsuit from Poddar for defamation, which is to make a false state-ment about someone written or verbally (because the proof was disposed of), or a pos-sible lawsuit from Poddar for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Dr. Moore could have gotten sued for these things because they both have to do with saying some-thing so outrageous about another person that it affects them to the extent of tarnishing their name or causing them emotional distress, and for Dr. Moore to say that Poddar was planning on killing someone, and then Poddar never attempting to commit the act is that type of outrageous.…
