Case Questions
1. Lance, an Internet hacker, stole 15,000 credit card numbers and sold them on the black market, making
millions. Police caught Lance, and two legal actions followed, one civil and one criminal. Who will be
responsible for bringing the civil case? What will be the outcome if the jury believes that Lance was
responsible for identity thefts? Who will be responsible for bringing the criminal case? What will be
the outcome if the jury believes that Lance stole the numbers?
Answer: The civil cases will be brought by the victims of identity theft, and the outcome of a
successful case against Lance would be some type of monetary award for damages suffered. The
criminal case will be brought by state prosecutors and the outcome would be imprisonment
for Lance.
2. As The Oculist’s Case indicates, the medical profession has faced large number of lawsuits for centuries.
In Texas, a law provides that, so long as a doctor was not reckless and did not intentionally harm a
patient, recovery for “pain and suffering” is limited to no more than $750,000. In many other states,
no such limit exists. If a patient will suffer a lifetime of pain after a botched operation, for example,
they might recover millions in compensation.
