Flashcards Studio

At a hotel, a guest, Talia, complained at the front desk that her room had been entered while she was gone. The manager led Talia into a small office "to look at security footage." Once inside, the manager stood between Talia and the only door, took the door key from the desk, and said, "You are staying here until you delete that complaint video from your phone." Talia reached for her bag. The manager grabbed the strap, pulled the bag from Talia's shoulder, and removed her phone. Talia thought the manager was about to shove her and stepped backward into a file cabinet.
The manager kept the phone overnight, deleted the video, and returned the phone the next day. The phone still worked, but Talia lost the only copy of the video. Talia sues for intentional torts.
Identify and analyze Talia's strongest intentional tort claims. Discuss battery, assault, false imprisonment, and property tort theories.
