Rаlph Wаtsоn, а hоckey fan, hired Claude Deemer tо work temporarily at Watson’s grocery store. Deemer had just been suspended from his semiprofessional hockey team for unsportsmanlike conduct and violence. While working at the store, Deemer assaulted a customer, Allen Worthington. Can Worthington recover against Watson for his injuries? Which of the following analyses is best? ANSWER A: Watson is liable for hiring Deemer. In Tyus v. Booth, the court held that the plaintiff may recover only after showing that the employer knew or should have known that the employee had a propensity toward violence. In that case, the employee worked at a service station and assaulted a customer. The victim sued the employer, claiming that the employer was negligent in not finding out beforehand that the employee had previously been convicted of assault. The court held that the employer had no duty to learn of the employee’s criminal record when the employer had not seen the employee behave in a manner indicating a propensity toward violence. Tyus is different from our facts because Watson knew that Deemer had a propensity toward violence. As an avid fan and season ticket holder of the hockey league in which Deemer played, Watson knew that Deemer had been suspended for twenty-one days for unsportsmanlike conduct and fighting. Watson knew that this suspension occurred in a league that is plagued with violence and unsportsmanlike conduct. Watson also knew that hockey, by itself, is a violent sport that attracts dangerous and frightening people like Deemer. Watson may argue that violent hockey playing does not indicate a propensity toward violence off the hockey rink. The unusually violent nature of this particular hockey league, and the reason for Deemer’s suspension, suggests that Watson likely will be unpersuasive. Hockey is not, after all, the Bolshoi Ballet. In Hersh v. Kentfield Builders, Inc., the court held that an employer was not liable for an employee’s assault on a salesman when the employer did not know the violent nature of the employee’s criminal record and had not seen the employee behave in a manner indicating a propensity toward violence. Although the employer probably knew that the employee had a criminal record, he did not know that the employee had been convicted of manslaughter and carrying a concealed weapon. The court stated that the employer had no duty to investigate the employee’s criminal record in the absence of evidence of the employee’s propensity toward violence. Hersh is different from our case because, again, Watson knew that Deemer had a propensity toward violence. Watson held season tickets to the hockey league in which Deemer played. He was there the night Deemer was suspended for twenty-one days for unsportsmanlike conduct and fighting. He knew that the league had a reputation for violence and unsportsmanlike conduct. As described above, Watson will not be able to argue successfully that violent hockey playing does not indicate a propensity toward violence off the hockey rink. Knowing that Deemer was violent, Watson hired him to work in a public place. Deemer assaulted a customer in that public place — the produce department of Watson’s store — as Deemer was cleaning vegetable trays. In fact, much of Deemer’s work involved contact with customers. Watson should have expected that someone like Deemer would eventually have a violent altercation with a customer. The fact that Deemer’s assault was provoked by three teenage boys shows Watson’s negligence, because only an employee who is prone to violence would have reacted by chasing and beating one of the boys. This case is thus different from Hersh, because the employer in that case did the right thing. He had the employee work in a location that was not usually open to the public. This employee, whom the employer probably knew to have a criminal record and to have been belligerent at times, was required to clean out model homes not open to the public. After the employee injured a salesman with a knife, the employer was held not liable for negligence in hiring this employee. Deemer, however, worked in a public place. It is reasonable to expect that customers in a grocery store will frequent the produce department, will come into contact with the employer’s maintenance workers, and will sometimes be obnoxious. Every business owner knows that some customers will be obnoxious. Watson is liable for hiring Deemer. ANSWER B: Watson is most likely responsible for Deemer’s assault on a customer because he hired Deemer, knowing of his violent hockey playing, and then placed him in a position involving public contact. An employer is liable for the intentional torts of an employee committed on a customer at the workplace if (1) the employer knew or should have known beforehand of the employee’s propensity toward violence and (2) the employer had the employee work in a place open to the public. Tyus v. Booth; Hersh v. Kentfield Builders, Inc. Watson satisfies the “propensity toward violence” requirement because he knew of Deemer’s violent hockey playing before hiring him. In both Tyus and Hersh, the courts held that an employer was not liable for an employee’s assault on a person at the workplace because the employer had no knowledge, and no reason to know, of the employee’s prior conviction for a violent crime. In both cases, the employer had not seen the employee behave in a manner that suggested a propensity toward violence. In this case, however, Watson actually knew of Deemer’s propensity toward violence. As an avid fan and season ticket holder of the hockey league in which Deemer played, he knew that Deemer had been suspended for twenty-one days for unsportsmanlike conduct and fighting. Watson also knew that this suspension occurred in a league that has a lot of violence and unsportsmanlike conduct. Watson may argue that violent hockey playing does not indicate a propensity toward violence off the hockey rink. The unusually violent nature of this particular hockey league, and the reason for Deemer’s suspension, suggests that Watson likely will be unpersuasive. Deemer’s lack of a criminal record does not change this conclusion. In Tyus and Hersh, the courts held that employers were not liable for the assaults committed by their employees in part because they had not seen evidence of violent behavior beforehand. Because the employers were unaware of their employees’ violent criminal records, these records were irrelevant. Deemer’s actual behavior before the assault — not the presence or absence of a criminal record — demonstrates Watson’s negligence in hiring him. Watson satisfies the “public place” requirement because he hired Deemer to work in areas open to the public. This case is analogous to Tyus, in which the employee worked in a service station and assaulted a customer, because Deemer’s work also involved public contact. Deemer assaulted a customer in a public place — the produce department of Watson’s grocery store — as Deemer was cleaning vegetable trays. The presence of three teenage boys in the produce department supports this conclusion. Watson may argue that Deemer did not have regular customer contact in the same way as the employee in Tyus. Because Deemer did have some customer contact, however, this argument is not likely to prevail. This case is distinguishable from Hersh, in which the court held an employer not negligent for an employee’s assault on a salesman because the employee worked in an area not usually open to the public. Unlike the employee in Hersh, Deemer was working in a public place — in the produce department of a grocery store, where public contact could reasonably have been expected — when the assault occurred. Although the assault was provoked by three obnoxious teenage boys, it occurred in a place open to the public. Watson likely will be held liable for Deemer’s assault on Worthington. ANSWER C: Watson most likely is responsible for Deemer’s assault on a customer because he hired Deemer, knowing of his violent hockey playing, and then placed him in a position involving public contact. An employer is liable for the intentional torts of an employee committed on a customer at the workplace if (1) the employee has a propensity toward violence, (2) the employer knows or should know of that propensity, and (3) the employer had the employee work in a place open to the public. Tyus v. Booth; Hersh v. Kentfield Builders, Inc. Deemer satisfies the “propensity toward violence” requirement because of his violent hockey playing. In Tyus and Hersh, a customer and a salesman each were assaulted by employees who previously had been convicted of violent crimes. The courts recognized that such crimes were evidence of a propensity toward violence. Similarly, Deemer’s manner of playing hockey is evidence of his propensity toward violence. Deemer was suspended from his hockey team for twenty-one days for unsportsmanlike conduct and fighting. In addition, his hockey league is plagued with violence and unsportsmanlike conduct. The unusually violent nature of the league along with the conduct that led to Deemer’s suspension suggest that Deemer’s propensity toward violence is not limited to the game of hockey. Watson satisfies the “knowledge” requirement because he knew of Deemer’s propensity toward violence when he hired Deemer. In both Tyus and Hersh, the court held that an employer was not liable for an employee’s assault on a person at the workplace because the employer had no knowledge, and no reason to know, of the employee’s prior conviction for a violent crime. In both cases, the employer had not seen the employee behave in a manner that suggested a propensity toward violence. In this case, however, Watson actually knew of Deemer’s propensity toward violence because Watson, an avid fan and season ticket holder of the hockey league in which Deemer played, watched the game in which Deemer was suspended. Even if Watson did not actually know of Deemer’s propensity toward violence, he should have known of that propensity. His familiarity with Deemer, the team, and the league gave him constructive knowledge. Deemer’s lack of a criminal record does not change the conclusion that Watson had actual or constructive knowledge of Deemer’s propensity toward violence. In Tyus and Hersh, the courts held that employers were not liable for the assaults committed by their employees in part because the employers had not seen evidence of violent behavior beforehand. Because the employers were unaware of their employees’ violent criminal records, these records were irrelevant. Watson’s awareness of Deemer’s behavior before the assault — not the presence or absence of a criminal record — establishes Watson’s knowledge of Deemer’s propensity toward violence. Finally, Watson satisfies the “public place” requirement because he hired Deemer to work in areas open to the public. In Tyus, the court held that a service station where an employee assaulted a customer was a public place, while in Hersh, the court declined to impose liability where the assault took place in an area not open to the public. Like the employee in Tyus, Deemer also assaulted a customer in a public place — the produce department of Watson’s grocery store — as Deemer was cleaning vegetable trays. The presence of three teenage boys in the produce department supports this conclusion. Although Deemer probably did not have customer contact to the same extent as the employee in Tyus, customer contact was an inevitable part of his job. Thus, this case is distinguishable from Hersh, where the assault did not occur in a “public place.” Watson will likely be held liable for Deemer’s assault on Worthington.
Yоur client, Susаn Sweeney, hаs а neighbоr, Tоdd Pimm, who recently replaced the four-foot chain link fence that enclosed his backyard with a five-foot wooden fence. The fence runs along the property line between their adjacent beachfront lots. Sweeney wants the fence removed because it blocks her view of the ocean on that side, and she can no longer sit on her patio and watch the sun set. She and her neighbor have argued bitterly for years because Sweeney keeps her yard and patio neat and well-groomed, while Pimm does not mow his grass regularly or trim his bushes or trees. Pimm owns a small dog that he sometimes lets out into his backyard, but it is primarily kept inside. The dog roamed around the neighborhood before Pimm built his first fence. Sweeney asserts that Pimm changed the fence “just to spite her.” She wants the wooden fence removed. She asked him to remove the wooden fence, but in her words he “just got ugly about it.” Sweeney is a retired school teacher and moved to the coast to enjoy her retirement and spend time with her grandchildren. There are two relevant cases in your jurisdiction. Tinker v. Walden (1997) Paul Tinker alleges that Lee Walden constructed a fence between their two adjoining properties for the sole purpose of disrupting Tinker’s truck repair business. The fence bisects the land between their businesses — an area they had previously shared. The fence also impedes access to Tinker’s garage by leaving only a narrow lane for his customers to use. Tinker alleges that Walden did this in retaliation for Tinker’s refusal to buy Walden’s property at Walden’s asking price. This state recognizes that a defendant may not construct a fence or other structure for the sole purpose of annoying his neighbor. A plaintiff is entitled to removal of such a “spite fence” and to compensation for any damages caused thereby. Here, there is evidence that Walden was displeased that Tinker would not purchase the property at the desired price. Yet there is also evidence that the fence was intended to secure Walden’s business premises, which had been broken into on at least one occasion. The chain link fence erected by Walden lets in both light and air. It also precisely encloses Walden’s property — part of which he had previously allowed Tinker to use. Since erecting the fence serves a valid purpose for Walden, it is not a “spite fence” and Tinker is not entitled to its removal. Loren v. Bell (2008) Jessica Loren brought suit seeking to force Otis Bell, the owner of the property adjacent to hers, to remove a fence he erected between the two properties. Bell erected a ten-foot wooden fence on his property line after the city council denied Bell’s proposal to build additional condominium units on the property. Loren, who serves on the city council, did not participate in the review of Bell’s proposal. She alleges that the fence was built in retaliation for the denial of Bell’s proposal. She also alleges that the fence blocks her view of the Peaceful River and restricts sunlight onto her property. This Court has previously held that a plaintiff is entitled to the removal of a spite fence that has no beneficial use to the owner and is erected and maintained for the sole purpose of annoying the adjoining landowner. While Bell alleges the fence was built to prevent trespassers from gaining access to his property through Loren’s lot, he has produced no evidence that trespassers have ever used such access. Nor has he provided any rationale for installing a ten-foot fence when the original plans for his development called for the security fence around the property to be only six feet tall. We find no reason other than spite to support the construction of Bell’s ten-foot fence. Thus, Loren is entitled to its removal. ANSWER A: Thus, I am confident that we will be able to resolve the conflict you are involved in with your adjacent landowner and obtain a favorable outcome from your lawsuit. I await your approval to file the papers so we can get this matter resolved in an expeditious manner. ANSWER B: Thus, because Pimm has a legitimate need for the fence and his backyard was previously enclosed with a fence, we face an uphill battle to convince the court that he only built the fence to annoy you. In the end, it all depends on what the judge thinks. But if you want to go forward with this, please give me a call so I can file the papers. ANSWER C: Thus, the outcome ultimately depends on the court’s conclusion about Pimm’s motive for building the taller wooden fence. That his yard was previously enclosed with a fence to contain his dog cuts against a contention that he built a fence only to annoy you. Because the original fence was sufficient to contain his dog, however, the court is likely to conclude he built the new fence to retaliate against you for your complaints about his yard. Please let me know if you have any questions, and whether you would like to discuss pursuing this matter further.
