1. 1.D and P worked on the same shift at E Company. D found P quite attractive and several times asked her to wear more revealing clothes and to engage in sexual relations with him. P refused each time and told D to stop bothering her. On two subsequent occasions, D came up to P while she was working and tried gently to massage her shoulders. P pulled away both times and complained to her supervisor. P suffered no physical harm. On these facts, could a jury find D liable for battery?

2. A.No, because P suffered no physical injury.

3. B.Yes, because P had told D to leave her alone.

4. C.No, if the jury finds that D had no purpose either to harm or offend P.

5. D.Yes, provided that the jury finds that the reasonable person would have found D’s actions offensive.

6. 2.P was riding his bicycle in New York’s Central Park when a passing runner inadvertently made contact with P, causing P to crash. P suffered a compound fracture of the humerus. (A compound fracture is one where the bone protrudes through the skin.) D, a physician, also running in the park, stopped to render aid to P and began to attempt to reduce the fracture. P screamed in pain and told the physician to stop. D continued until the protruding bone was realigned. On these facts, could a jury find D liable for battery?

7. A.No, provided that D persuades the jury that without the treatment D administered, P would likely have suffered far greater injury and would have been at risk of dying because of untreatable infection from the dirty wound.

8. B.Yes, because D was not P’s physician.

9. C.No, because the physician was responding to an emergency situation.

10. D.Yes, but only for the treatment that P received after his request that D desist.

11. 3.P, a six-year old, was crossing a busy street without paying proper attention. D, a passer-by, saw a car approaching P at a speed that would have caused the car to collide with P before P could have reacted to a shouted caution. D ran across the street, scooping P up and saving P from a life-threatening situation. P was autistic and could not tolerate being touched. The unexpected contact caused P to become severely upset, and when D set P down on the sidewalk, P began to hit his head on the sidewalk, causing himself injury. On these facts, is D liable for battery?

12. A.No, because P’s injuries were self- inflicted.

13. B.Yes, because D touched P without P’s consent, and the touching caused P injury.

14. C.No, because D lacked the intent required for battery.

15. D.Yes, because D had no legal responsibility to aid P.
