In Yeager v. Local Union 20 (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 369, 6 Ohio B. 421, 453 N.E.2d 666, the Ohio Supreme Court held that "one who by extreme and outrageous conduct intentionally or recklessly causes serious emotional distress to another is subject to liability for such emotional distress." Id. at syllabus paragraph one. With respect to the requirement that the alleged conduct be extreme and outrageous, the court explained: "It has not been enough that the defendant has acted with an intent which is tortious or even criminal, or that he has intended to inflict emotional distress, or even that his conduct has been characterized by 'malice,' or a degree of aggravation which would entitle the plaintiff to punitive damages for another tort. Liability has been found only where the conduct has been so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community." Id. at 374-375, 453 N.E.2d at 671. The Supreme Court found one who by extreme and outrageous conduct intentionally or recklessly causes serious emotional distress to another is subject to liability for damages due to the emotional distress. The Supreme Court warned it is insufficient that the tortfeasor acted with tortious, or even criminal, intent. It is insufficient to show malice, or a degree of aggravation which would entitle a plaintiff to punitive damages for other torts. Liability for intentional infliction of emotional distress requires conduct so outrageous in character and extreme in degree as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, which would be regarded as atrocious and utterly impossible in a civilized community, Yeager at 374-375." Id. at P 26.
