Publication Date: | 2015 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/22249 | Abstract: | Historically, intentional interference with the person was dealt with both civilly and criminally through the writ of trespass. Although the link between tort and crime continues so that conduct which amounts to an intentional tort may also constitute a crime, the term 'trespass to the person' refers today to the civil claims of battery, assault and false imprisonment. There may also be a limited, residual category of intentional acts causing harm of which the case of 'Wilkinson v Downton' is representative. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The Law of Tort, p. 417-466 | Publisher: | LexisNexis Butterworths | Place of Publication: | London, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781405763448 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 180126 Tort Law | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 480605 Tort law | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 949999 Law, Politics and Community Services not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 239999 Other law, politics and community services not elsewhere classified | HERDC Category Description: | B3 Chapter in a Revision/New Edition of a Book | Series Name: | Butterworths common law series | Editor: | Editor(s): Ken Oliphant |
