Personal integrity has its own value.
Congratulations! You know a lot about the tort of
false imprisonment at this point. Below I have outlined the law that
was taught through this short series of questions. You will produce
such outlines of the law you learn in each class.
- False imprisonment is the direct restraint
by one person of
the physical liberty of another without adequate legal
justification
- One of the things a plaintiff must prove is that he was
restrained
- Restraint can be physical
- It may be locks, bars and restraints
- It may be circumstances creating risk to health and safety
- Restraint can be mental
- It may be in the form of humiliation or other threats to
one's dignity
