- hedora 4y agoThe term of art is "Chattle", as in "Trespass on Chattle". e.g., start by reading section IIa of this: https://digital.sandiego.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3169&context=sdlr https://digital.sandiego.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=316... Essentially, Intel employees are 'chattle', and while communicating with them doesn't transfer ownership or control of them away from Intel, it does interfere with Intel's ongoing use of them.
- jrootabega 4y agoThe spirit is the same, but I don't think we're talking about the same thing. It's "chattel", and according to wikipedia, for whatever that's worth, it's "trespass to chattels". I didn't see any reference there about treating people in a customer relationship as the "chattel" referred to in this law.
- hedora 4y agoIt wasn’t originally meant to be applied to employees. That’s a modern interpretation. It seems inevitable that some court will extend the interpretation to customers too.
