3600. Conspiracy—Essential Factual Elements

[Name of plaintiff] claims that [he/she] was harmed by [name of

coconspirator]’s [insert tort theory] and that [name of defendant] is

responsible for the harm because [he/she] was part of a conspiracy

to commit [insert tort theory]. A conspiracy is an agreement by two

or more persons to commit a wrongful act. Such an agreement

may be made orally or in writing or may be implied by the

conduct of the parties.

If you find that [name of coconspirator] committed [a/an] [insert tort

theory] that harmed [name of plaintiff], then you must determine

whether [name of defendant] is also responsible for the harm.

[Name of defendant] is responsible if [name of plaintiff] proves both

of the following:

1. That [name of defendant] was aware that [name of

coconspirator] [and others] planned to [insert wrongful act];

and

2. That [name of defendant] agreed with [name of

coconspirator] [and others] and intended that the [insert

wrongful act] be committed.

Mere knowledge of a wrongful act without cooperation or an

agreement to cooperate is insufficient to make [name of defendant]

responsible for the harm.

A conspiracy may be inferred from circumstances, including the

nature of the acts done, the relationships between the parties, and

the interests of the alleged coconspirators. [Name of plaintiff] is not

required to prove that [name of defendant] personally committed a

wrongful act or that [he/she] knew all the details of the agreement

or the identities of all the other participants.
