Bill is having marital difficulties and has an affair with Sara, from whom he contracts herpes. Hoping to work out his marital problems, he does not inform his wife of his infection. Four years later, Bill and his wife, Eva, divorce. A month later, before she has had any relationships with other men, Eva discovers that she has herpes. Knowing she could have contracted the disease from only one person, she sues her husband for negligence, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. What arguments would she make to support each of these causes of action? Explain how you believe the court would respond to each argument.
