About this document
Defences to Intentional Torts Explained by species09 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document outlines several defences to intentional torts, including: - Volenti non fit injuria (consent), which applies when the claimant freely accepts the risk. - Contributory negligence, which can reduce liability for trespass to the person. - Illegality (ex turpi causa non oritur actio), which prevents claims arising from illegal acts. - Self-defense, which must be reasonable and proportionate to the threat. Case law provides examples of applying these defenses in different factual situations.
