Case A: A Case of Tortious Teenager
Facts:  
Marry O’ Neill a sole proprietor or owner of a convenience store which is very near to 
high school in the city. Since it is very near to the school it has now become a hangout place of 
the teenagers where they crowd in after the school gets over and purchase very less items. Few 
students also legitimate the customers resulting into reduction in the purchase or breads, milk etc. 
by those customers. Mary noticed that there is an increase in the inventory shortage and suspects 
that youth shoplifts the item from her store. To avoid shoplifting Neil hired one guard name 
Frank Fuller who earlier worked between 3:00 – 5:00 pm but now is working for full day. Fuller 
is of 59 and is a retired person.  Neill noticed that a woman Shelley was not behaving normally 
and has a suspicion that she is hiding something in her pocket. Frank grabbed and violently 
twisted her arm and tore the sleeve of the jacket, she suffered injury and sprained in here elbow. 
Shelley in anger returns to the street so as to take revenge and throw garbage which was caught 
in the videotape. Neill and Shelley both filed claim against each other. 
Issue:  
 Are both the parties at fault? 
Can Shelley file claim against Neill despite of the fact that her activity of throwing is recording 
in the videotape? 
Can Shelley file a claim against Neill despite of the fact that she has no evidence in order to 
prove her claim? 
Does the claim of both the party covers under torts? 
Does the act of Fuller is referred as unintentional or intentional torts? 
Law:  
The word tort is derived from the Latin word “Torquere” which means wrong. A tort is a 
common law jurisdiction i.e. a civil wrong which unfairly causes someone else to suffer a loss or 
harm resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the act. Torts may be incidental or 
accidental. Thus, it includes all intentional wrong cases as well as negligence i.e. unintentional 
cases.  (Blond, N. C.
