Intentional Torts
Defenses
Intentional torts include self-defense, defense of others, defense of property, necessity, and consent.
Defense of property: requires the defendant to request that plaintiff to stop or leave unless it would be futile.
Necessity: requires that injuring plaintiff's property was reasonably necessary to avoid a substantially greater harm to the public, to the defendant, or to save the defendant's more value property.
Self-defense: means a defendant may use force reasonably necessary to protect against injury when he reasonably believes he is being or about to be attacked.
Consent: Can be express or implied, and defendant will still be liable if he exceeds the scope of he consent.
