Jones V Tsige Case Study
You asked me to prepare an Objective Legal Analysis of how Jones v Tsige applies to the Cuthbert`s case. Specifically, how the Cuthbert`s use of the nanny cam may both invade and not invade their nanny's privacy.
Background Facts
The present case concerns Ryan and Angela Cuthbert. Ryan is a self-employed individual who operates a plumbing company, while his wife, Angela is presently on the maternity leave, but is scheduled to return to her previous employment at the CFO of a Crown Corporation at the beginning of March. The parties have hired a nanny for their infant daughter Sophie. Nanny is scheduled to commence her employment with the Cuthbert`s within the next week. However, Cuthbert`s have come to disagreement due to the fact that Mr. Cuthbert installed a hidden “nanny cam” in Sophie`s room. Mrs. Cuthbert objects the actions of her spouse and is disagreeable on the tactics her husband employs.

One of the cases that is useful in exploring the aforementioned issues is the case of Jones v Tsige on invasion of privacy.
In order to examine whether Cuthbert`s use of the nanny cam would constitute or not constitute the invasion of privacy, it is necessary to use the Prosser`s “intrusion upon seclusion” test that was set out in Jones v Tsige, and which posits “One who intentionally intrudes, physically or otherwise, upon the seclusion of another or his private affairs or concerns, is subject to liability to the other for invasion of his privacy, if the invasion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.” In addition, this tort extends to the use of technological advices that are used to invade the privacy of an

    In the case of US v. Jones, the installation was held to be in violation of the 4th amendment and a warrant was required. In a 9 – 0 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously agreed with the lower court's opinion and held the installation of a tracking device, absent a search warrant or any exigent circumstances, constitutes an unlawful search under the Fourth Amendment. Judge Scalia delivered the opinion of the Court. While divided on the interpretation of search theory and providing the basis behind their decision, the remaining Justices concurred with the majority opinion.…

    The tort system provides compensation to individuals who have been wronged or injured by the activity of another individual. Until the Ontario Court of Appeal decision in Jones v. Tsige in 2012, resulting in the creation of the tort of intrusion upon seclusion, the common law did not include torts that did not entail a personal or financial injury. It is essential the common law includes torts that do not entail actual injury to provide individuals the means of seeking remedies when they are wronged from the wrongdoer responsible for the action.…

    Before 2004, courthouses and other public buildings differed from how they are today. There was one thing that these buildings did not have, a handicapped entrance. At this time, it could be very embarrassing to be handicapped because you could do nothing for yourself. If you wanted to enter a public building, you had to ask someone to carry you in, or even worse, you might have to crawl up stairs to enter! This was a definite problem that had been around for years, however, no one addressed it.…

    In the case of White v. Gibbs, the plaintiff, Mrs. Debbie White, sued O’Malley’s Tavern alongside Patrick Gibbs. Gibbs served as bartender at the tavern during the night in question. Mrs. White seeks settlement under the state of Indiana’s Dram Shop Act. Under the Dram Shop Act, a bartender assumes liability to any persons injured who were served alcohol while exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication (Todd, 1986). Since the two parties reside in different states, the case was brought to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. The defendants, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern, sought summary judgment on their behalf. Mrs. White’s rebuttal was that the summary judgment should…

Attempting to set the scales he contrastingly concludes by expressing the hope was an enactment of privacy law. Through these conflicting perspectives, we are acquainted with different aspects of the case, coming to the deduction that Robertson is attempting to use Justice as a medium to provide us with our own interpretation to the end result to the case despite outweighing one argument against the…

    Case Study-Hurry vs Jones

    • 908 Words

    Having reviewed the case Hurry V. Jones 734 F.2d 879 (1st Cir. 1984), at first reading of the case and with my novice awareness of the law I am seriously concerned as to why this ever went to court. IDEA and the constitution of the United States guarantee that students will receive a free public education no matter what their handicaps. The District should have provided some method by which this student could be educated. I am aware that people exceeding George’s weight are regularly transported to varying places if not by bus, by ambulance and other vehicles. A student like George needs all of the education that he can possible absorb and no limitations of that education should be acceptable. Transportation is provided all over the country for students with limited mobility and or cognitive difficulties. It seems like a “slam dunk” that something should have been done to see that George was educated. In addition, the idea of home schooling is limited to exceptional need and usually to fragile students or dangerous students. George was neither. The problem of the ramp should never have reached the superintendent in a city, the capitol of the state and the size of Providence. It would seem that a little searching, perhaps a little publicity would have located a group of city minded people who would not only fund the ramp and elevate the problem of getting George up and down to his house. One need only look at the numbers of fraternal organizations that assist the handicap and take on necessary projects such as this. Why would the lack of a ramp ever go to court?…
