Tort laws are laws defined to regulate business contracts and what must be done to make a contract enforceable. A tort laws main objective is to provide compensation to any injured party. The purpose of Tort laws is to compensate injured parties, reinforce a just society, and deter any future wrongdoings. There are multiple different types of torts and anyone of them could be used to get compensation for an injury. In the event that a injury was believed to be intentional from a product, the plaintiff can sue under Intentional tort and say the company knowingly sold said product knowing the defects. If a injury occurred because the defendant was negligent in their actions, Negligent tort could be used. If the defendant did anything that could have been done safely, Strict-Liability tort could be used. The tort laws relevant to this scenario, would be Intentional and Negligence. Intentional Tort would be used because the landlord knew about the new additions as well as the live animals being sold, and did nothing about the enclosures and making sure they were setup right. Negligence could be used because the landlord did nothing to stop the snake from escaping the enclosure or did nothing more than tell Dave that he needed to keep the animals quiet as to not disturb any other residents. Negligence could be used against The Friendly Dawgs, because did not do enough to ensure the snake could not escape. But because the snake escaped, Jasmine had that heart attack which resulted in a heart injury, When filing the lawsuit, Sunshine yoga could claims that because of the live animals being sold next door, the noise was causing customers not leave the business which would put a hard financial strain on the tenant. Also, because yoga is supposed to be peaceful and don't quietly, the noise could be affecting customers ability to concentrate if they were there to relieve stress. As for the escaped snake, the tenant could sue both the landlord and the business because neither one of them ensured that the snake could not escape which led to the heart attack and
medical bills. Along with this, could sue the landlord for intentional tort, because the landlord knew of the actions of the neighboring business, and did nothing to ensure the animals were secured properly. Any medical bills could be paid for as well any emotional damages and lost wages because of the decline in business. Because of the oral contract, the tenant may be forced to move their business else where to prevent something like this from happening again.
