Explanation:

Question 10:

Intentional torts require the defendant to intend the act that causes harm, not necessarily the harm itself. Negligence is a separate tort category, and prison is a criminal, not civil tort, consequence.

Question 11:

Tortious interference with a contract requires a third party to intentionally induce a breach of a valid contract. E-presto, as a competitor aware of Mia's existing contract with Trein, induced her to breach it, making E-presto liable. Mia is a party to the original contract, not a third party interfering.

Question 12:

Most states recognize the shopkeeper's privilege, which allows a store to reasonably detain a customer suspected of shoplifting to investigate, as long as the detention is reasonable in time and manner.

Answer:

1. the defendant intended a certain physical act which ends up injuring someone.
2. E-presto is liable for tortious interference with a contract.
3. can reasonably detain the customer for suspicion of shoplifting.
