A reporter meets a fire truck at a huge blaze engulfing a large house. The reporter asks the firefighters if she can follow them
into the garage attached to the house, which is the one part of the building not yet covered in flames. The firefighters say "yes," and the reporter follows the fire fighters into the garage. The homeowner likely will be ______. a. able to successfully sue the reporter for intrusion, but only if the reporter refused to leave when the homeowner told her to leave
b. able to successfully sue the reporter for intrusion if the homeowner did not givethe reporter permission to be in the housec. notable to successfully sue the reporter for intrusion if the firefighters truly believed they had the right to give the reporter permission to follow them into the house
d. notable to successfully sue the reporter for invasion of privacy if the firefighters had a good reason to tell the reporter she could enter the house
B). Able to successfully sue the reporter for intrusion if the homeowner did not give the reporter permission to be in the house.
Explanation:
As per the given description, the homeowner would probably be 'able to sue the reporter successfully for intruding if the homeowner himself didn't allow the reporter to be present in the house' as the reporter entered the house without the permission of the home's owner but rather entered with the permission of the firefighters. Since the house belongs to the owner he/she possess the legal rights to sue any person for intrusion who has engulfed his/her house without prior permission. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
