1. In the criminal justice system, John can temporarily put Jack in custody pending the arrival of the police. Jack was not detained for a period longer than five minutes and not for a civil wrong.
Thus, in this lawsuit for the tort of unlawful imprisonment, Jack will lose because he committed a crime. He cannot apply a civil law to a criminal case.
2. Adriana is correct that her personal assets cannot be reached in this lawsuit brought by the shareholders of DEF, Inc. because SLA Accountants, LLP is a limited liability partnership and not just an ordinary partnership.
A limited liability partnership, like a limited liability company, offers members limited liability. However, the shareholders of DEF, Inc. may decide to sue Adriana personally.
3. Andrew is wrong because the car handed over by Sam was not a completed inter-vivos gift. The transfer was not absolute but conditional upon Sam not returning from the Middle East.
As a conditional transfer of gift, the vesting of the ownership interest created by the transfer depends on the fulfillment of a condition.
Thus, since the transfer condition did not materialize, Andrew should return the car to Sam in good faith.
