...University of Phoenix Material BUGusa, Inc., Worksheet Use the scenarios in the Bugusa, Inc., link located on the student website to answer the following questions. Scenario: WIRETIME, Inc., Advertisement Has WIRETIME, Inc., committed any torts? If so, explain. WIRETIME, Inc. (WIRETIME) has committed trade libel. WIRETIME’s advertisement satisfies the three conditions of trade libel as defined by our text (Melvin, 2011, p.212): 1. Clear and specific reference to the disparaged product. WIRETIME makes defamatory statements about a specific company [BUGusa (BUG)] as well as to the specific product that BUG manufactures (BUG’s electronic recording devices). 2. Disparaging statement made with either knowledge that the statement was false or reckless disregard for the truth. WIRETIME’s statement that BUG’s electronic recording devices are low quality and do not work reliably for longer than one month is reckless disregard for the truth. We have no proof referenced in this scenario ascertaining the truthfulness of WIRETIME’s statement, but we can demonstrate that they published this statement with malice, or reckless disregard for the truth, with the intent of making BUG’s customers believe that BUG manufactures a low quality, unreliable product, thus driving away BUG’s customers and influencing them to use WIRETIME’s product as an alternative. 3.

Scenario: WIRETIME, Inc. (Steve and Walter) Discuss any liability BUGusa, Inc., may have for Walter’s actions. Walter’s actions are unacceptable in every way. Walter committed false imprisonment by holding Steve for 6 hours in a sound proof room and questioning him. 6 hours is very unreasonable. If Walter would have contacted the police about the matter, then holding Steve until police arrived would have been a different story. Walter also committed assault against Steve. By saying he will hurt Steve if he doesn’t tell him everything, is a criminal action. Being a security guard, maybe armed even, Im sure the threat was not taken lightly. BUGusa, Inc., is liable for Walters’s actions because it happened on company time, at BUGusa’s place of business. Also since Walter is in a supervisor roll. This falls under the term vicarious liability, which is defined as; Liability that a supervisory party (typically an employer) bears for the actionable conduct of a subordinate or associate (such as an employee).
