scienter action

Read a random definition: infamous crime

A quick definition of scienter action:

A scienter action is a type of lawsuit where the person bringing the case (the plaintiff) has to prove that the person they are suing (the defendant) knew about the danger or harm that their actions could cause. For example, if someone's pet dog bites someone, the injured person might bring a scienter action against the dog's owner, arguing that the owner knew the dog was dangerous and should have taken steps to prevent the attack.

A more thorough explanation:

Scienter Action

A scienter action is a type of lawsuit where the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant knew about the danger or acted knowingly. For example, a lawsuit for damage caused by a domestic animal.

1. A person sues their neighbor for damages caused by their dog. In order to win the lawsuit, the person must prove that the neighbor knew the dog was dangerous and could cause harm.

2. A company is sued for selling a product that they knew was defective and could cause harm to consumers. The plaintiff must prove that the company acted knowingly and intentionally sold the defective product.

The examples illustrate the definition of a scienter action by showing that the plaintiff must prove that the defendant acted knowingly or knew of the danger. In the first example, the plaintiff must prove that the neighbor knew the dog was dangerous. In the second example, the plaintiff must prove that the company knew the product was defective and could cause harm. Without this knowledge, the plaintiff cannot win the lawsuit.
