Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
"Quinn v. Leathem" is the House of Lords authority on civil conspiracy, recognising liability for a combination directed at injuring another even where the same conduct by one individual would not be actionable merely because of bad motive. This distinguishes the conspiracy principle from "Allen v. Flood", which concerned the act of a single person.
