Jim Applied for a Position with the City's Public Works

True/False

Jim applied for a position with the city's public works department that he had seen advertised in the local newspaper. The advertisement specifically requested experience with heavy machinery, which would be used on a daily basis in this job. Jim did not know how to operate any of the machinery, and in fact, he did not have a valid driver's licence. On his first day at the job Jim caused an accident that will cost the city greatly. Jim's action would constitute deceit under tort law.
