Question Description

I need support with this Business Law question so I can learn better.

The goal of “Tort Law” is to compensate innocent persons who were injured, prevent private retaliation by injured parties, reinforce a vision of a just society and deter future wrongs. Using the facts from chapter eight’s case opener “Plastic Surgeon Defamation”, what facts did the court use to conclude that Bongiovi was liable for defamation against Dr. Sullivan? Also, what facts were used to award Dr. Sullivan punitive damages.
