Question

Which of the following torts are NOT included in the category of intentional torts known as invasion of privacy?

A. appropriation

B. intrusion

C. public disclosure of private facts

D. trespass to personal property

E. None of the above

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS OPTION D.

Explanation:

Invasion of privacy is the unjustifiable intrusion into the personal life of another without consent. However, invasion of privacy is not a tort on its own, rather it generally consists of four distinct causes of action.

The four types of invasion of privacy torts are as follows:

1. Appropriation of Name or Likeness
2. Intrusion Upon Seclusion
3. False Light
4. Public Disclosure of Private Facts

The above question includes 3 correct torts but one incorrect tort i.e. trespass to peronal property. The correct privacy tort in that place is FALSE LIGHT . It protect your right to not have potentially misleading or damaging information about yourself publicly disclosed. This includes the disclosure of information that may be true but is nonetheless misleading or damaging.
