1Intentional Torts to the PersonHow Torts is tested on the MBE and the essays, and the four intentional torts that protect the body, the mind and personal freedom: battery, assault, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The chapter teaches the intent element (purpose or substantial certainty), transferred intent and the capacity rule, states the elements of each tort with the fact patterns that separate them, and closes with the damages available, including nominal damages and the California punitive-damages standard in Civil Code § 3294.61 minGratis

Punitive damages: standard of proof and evidence

Generell regel (føderal / flertall)

Courts allow punitive damages for malicious, willful and wanton, or reckless conduct. The standard of proof varies: many states require clear and convincing evidence, while others use a preponderance. The MBE rarely tests the standard.

California

Civil Code § 3294 requires clear and convincing evidence of oppression, fraud or malice, each defined by the statute. The plaintiff must present evidence of the defendant’s financial condition (Adams v. Murakami (1991) 54 Cal.3d 105). The defendant may keep that evidence out until liability for punitive damages is found (Cal. Civ. Code § 3295).

If the call names California law, write the § 3294 sentence with the three words and the clear and convincing standard. If the call is silent, state the general rule, and add one sentence on California only if it changes the result.
