Every morning, a janitor at a gym cleaned all of the workout equipment, including the treadmills, using a disinfectant spray. One morning, the janitor was especially tired because he had been up late the night before. As a result, he was careless with the disinfectant spray, using too much and then not wiping it off adequately. A woman stepped onto one of the treadmills right after the janitor had cleaned it and turned it on. As the running belt started to move, the woman’s foot slipped because of the excess disinfectant spray. She fell off the treadmill and broke her nose. The woman, who was a master whiskey taster, was scheduled to judge a whiskey competition that evening. However, due to her broken nose, the woman was unable to adequately smell or taste the whiskeys. The competition was cancelled and the liquor company that hosted it lost thousands of dollars. The liquor company sued the gym under a theory of vicarious liability to recover its losses. Will the liquor company prevail?

The plaintiff was driving on a city street when a car swerved in front of him, forcing the plaintiff to slam on his brakes to avoid a collision. The defendant was driving the car behind the plaintiff. Because the defendant was speeding, he was unable to slow down quickly enough to avoid hitting the plaintiff. The plaintiff sustained severe whiplash as a result of the collision. The plaintiff has sued the defendant. The evidence at trial shows that both the defendant and the driver of the car that swerved in front of the plaintiff were negligent, and that the negligence of each caused the plaintiff’s injuries. The defendant has moved for a directed verdict, arguing that the plaintiff did not establish causation. Is the court likely to grant the defendant’s motion?

A construction company was removing air conditioning equipment from a truck parked on a residential street, using a crane. The equipment weighed several hundred pounds. A half-block away, the mother of a seven-year-old boy was standing on her front porch, watching her son walk to the school bus stop at the end of the block. As the boy walked past the construction site, the air conditioning equipment fell, landing mere inches away from the boy, who calmly continued walking to his bus. While the boy suffered no ill effects from the incident, the boy’s mother, who had a clear view of the incident, immediately fainted after seeing her son so close to certain death. For the next 48 hours, the mother was unable to function due to shock over the event. In the following months, the mother had difficulty sleeping due to nightmares as a result of the incident. The mother sued the construction company on behalf of her son for negligent infliction of emotional distress, and produced evidence at trial conclusively establishing that the construction company was negligent in allowing the air conditioning equipment to fall. Which of the following is the construction company’s best defense against this action?

A car salesman on the lot at a car dealership specializing in expensive high-end vehicles called out with a megaphone, “Free set of wheels to the next person who buys a car from me!” He was surrounded by stacks of tires and a display case with informational pamphlets advertising all- weather tires. A customer, believing that the car salesman was offering a two-for-one deal on the expensive vehicles sold on the lot, immediately approached the salesman and purchased a new vehicle for his son, believing that he would have a nice new car to give to his daughter as well. The salesman then asked if the customer would like his free set of tires installed on the new car. The customer responded that he did not want the tires, and that the salesman was contractually obligated to give him a second car. The salesman laughed and said that he was never offering a free car, but would cancel the sale of the first car as a consolation. Is the salesman obligated to give the customer a free car?

A mother had a six-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. The son and daughter often played together. When she came in to check on the children in their playroom, the mother would often find that the daughter had locked the son in a small closet with no lights as a “timeout” for misbehaving in their game. Although the mother repeatedly told the daughter not to do this, the daughter continued to lock her brother in the closet. Finally, the mother resorted to sitting and reading in the playroom while the children played. Her presence prevented the daughter from locking the son in the closet. One day, a neighbor’s six-year-old daughter came over to play. The mother left the two girls alone in the playroom, and when she came back to check on them twenty minutes later, she discovered that her daughter had locked the girl in the closet. The girl was crying, and her hands and feet were bruised from trying to kick the door open. If the neighbor files a suit against the mother for negligence, is the neighbor likely to succeed?
