Publication Date: | 2007 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/2305 | 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. It may also encompass a more general 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. 437-484 | Publisher: | LexisNexis Butterworths | Place of Publication: | London, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781405712408 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 180126 Tort Law | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://books.google.com/books?id=p1FsAAAACAAJ http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an42115413 |
