Which one set of factors out of the following is important for the defendant to be held liable for the tort of conspiracy?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The tort of conspiracy is committed where two or more persons combine either to use unlawful means or to achieve an unlawful end, and damage results (Mogul Steamship v. McGregor; Crofter Hand Woven Harris Tweed v. Veitch), so the relevant set is "Means, end and damage caused". Motive and intention alone, as in "Motive, intention and damage caused", do not define the tort.
