1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“"For harm resulting to a third person from the tortious conduct of another, one is subject to liability if he "(a) does a tortious act in concert with the other or pursuant to a common design with him, or "(b) knows that the other's conduct constitutes a breach of duty and gives substantial assistance or encouragement to the other so to conduct himself, or "(c) gives substantial assistance to the other in accomplishing a tortious result and his own conduct, separately considered, constitutes a breach of duty to the third person."”
