Appropriation. Torts are civil wrongdoings that cause harm or injury to another party. Appropriation,
wrongful interference, defamation, and conversion are four kinds of torts. Appropriation, which Brix
Beauty Salon committed, involves a business or person who uses! without permission! another
person's name, likeness, and other unique characteristics for the benefit or gain of the user. Brix Beauty
Salon used the celebrity's name and picture to attract customers to the salon. Unfortunately, Brix had not
obtained permission to use the celebrity's name or likeness. As a result, the celebrity could sue Brix for
appropriation. Wrongful interference consists of predatory behavior undertaken by a business to draw
either customers or employees away from a competitor. Defamation involves making false, malicious
statements about a person or organization. Conversion occurs when personal property is taken from the
owner and given to someone else to use.

Procedural due process. Procedural due process exists to ensure that individuals and businesses who
are sued or charged with a crime have the opportunity to present evidence on their behalf before a court
can impose a penalty. Requiring the government to go through a certain set of legal procedures before
taking someone's liberty and/or property provides the person or business in question a greater chance of
being treated fairly. Substantive due process exists to ensure that the government does not take away
our fundamental rights (e.g., privacy). The Takings Clause requires the U.S. government to pay a fair
price for any private property that it takes for public use. Sovereign immunity protects a federal
government from lawsuits brought against it in foreign courts.
