Multiple Choice
Jorge bought a ticket to see the Blue Jays in the SkyDome. During the game, he left his seat and visited a restaurant in the stadium. When he left the restaurant and tried to return to his seat, he was asked by one of the team's attendants to show his ticket. He refused. The dispute escalated. He was then arrested by one of the team's security guards. That arrest purportedly occurred under the Trespass to Property Act. That Act states that an offence is committed if a person who is "not acting under a right or authority conferred by law" refuses to leave a property after being asked to do so. Jorge subsequently sued the baseball team in tort. The main issue at trial was whether or not Jorge was entitled to remain in the stadium without showing his ticket. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) The team will be liable for the tort of false imprisonment if it wrongfully prevented Jorge from returning to his seat.
B) The arrest was lawful as long as the security guard reasonably believed that Jorge was a trespasser.
C) If the court finds that Jorge was a trespasser, he cannot possibly recover damages unless the defendant's behaviour caused him to suffer physical injuries.
D) Jorge will likely be held liable for nominal damages and punitive damages.
E) Jorge did not commit a tort by refusing to show the attendant his ticket.
