Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the case of false imprisonment the space need not be small. Locking up someone's pet or other property is not sufficient for this tort. It must be a person. The intent should be to do the act that results in the harm, not the intent to harm. The space can be locked or there can be some other means which makes it so the victim cannot leave the premises.
