Question

Frank bought a diamond ring for his girlfriend from Bill. Bill told him he had given the ring to his fianc, who returned it when she broke off the engagement. In fact, Bill had stolen the ring at a party. Frank had no reason to know or suspect that the ring was stolen. What is Frank's liability in these circumstances?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Frank has committed no tort or crime

Step-by-step explanation:

The crime is defined as a typical, unlawful, imputable, guilty action, subject to a criminal sanction and sometimes to objective punishable conditions. It involves a violation of criminal law. That is, an action or omission typified and punishable by law.

In this case, an action of this type is not configured for Frank, because due to the circumstances he did not take any undue action.
