Isla owned several thriving shopping malls, and she was negotiating to purchase South Coast Plaza from the company that currently owned it. Sarah, a staff attorney for the state transportation department who shopped at South Coast Plaza regularly, learned of the negotiations and contacted Isla. South Coast Plaza had deteriorated noticeably during the time the current company had owned it and Sarah believed that new ownership would revitalize South Coast Plaza considerably. Although Sarah had no information to support this, she told Isla that the state was currently planning to construct a new interchange for the freeway only three blocks from South Coast Plaza. Isla went ahead with the purchase, believing that the new interchange would boost sales. In fact, no interchange was being considered by the state at that time, and nothing that Isla did after she purchased South Coast Plaza could stem the decline in sales. Isla ended up selling South Coast Plaza at a substantial loss several years after the purchase.Does Isla have a cause of action against Sarah for her losses?

Store customers could not see anyone inside the security office. After Seth described what he had seen, Martin, the store manager, began to berate Sally for trying to steal the scarf and threatened to prosecute her as a shoplifter. However, Martin had neglected to make sure that the public address system that he used to announce the store was closing for the day, and his statements were broadcast to everyone in Target.In an action against Target for defamation, will Sally likely recover?

Brian recently purchased his new Pizazz powerboat from Boats R Us. He took the Pizazz out on Lake Mead but then ran out of gas because of a defective seal in the gas tank. The defect was not discoverable by an ordinary inspection. Brian’s frantic signaling alerted Sandy, the captain of a sightseeing boat passing by. Captain Sandy pulled up alongside to assist and attempted to restart the Pizazz. Because leaked gas had collected in the lower portion of the Pizazz, a spark ignited the gas which caused an explosion and fire. Captain Sandy was severely burned and died from her injuries. Captain Sandy’s estate brought a wrongful death action based on strict liability against Boats R Us and Pizazz (the manufacturer). Evidence at trial established that Boats R Us had sold Pizazz’s boats for years without any problems reported by customers.Can Captain Sandy’s estate recover any damages from Boats R Us?
