TORTS 3D: INTENTIONAL TORTS TO PERSONS


                                     (DRAFTS)


  CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS OF INTENTIONAL TORTS TO PERSONS; TRANSFERRED
                                          INTENT

§ 4. Purposeful Infliction of Bodily Harm

D.Md.2018. Cit. in disc. (citing § 104 of T.D. No. 1, 2015). Texas journalist who had written articles
about his epilepsy brought claims for battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and
purposeful infliction of bodily harm against Maryland resident who disliked his political views, alleging
that defendant used an online news and social-networking service to send him an animated strobe image
that flashed at a rapid speed to cause him to suffer a severe seizure. This court granted without prejudice
defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiffs claim for purposeful infliction of bodily harm; although Texas
courts had not yet recognized such a tort, the court cited Restatement Third of Torts: Intentional Torts to
Persons § 104 (T.D. No. 1, 2015) in noting that this was a developing area of the law, and it was not the
place of a federal court in Maryland to interfere with a developing body of state tort law in Texas.
Eichenwald v. Rivello, 318 F.Supp.3d 766, 777.
