Committing Fraud
Assault
Battery
Trespassing
False Imprisonment
Defamation
Intentionally Causing Emotional Distress
It is the responsibility of the defendant to justify his/her actions that might excuse him/her from liability. If the defendant can prove they had consent or permission from the plaintiff, or the defendant can prove their actions were to defend himself, his property, or someone else, they may avoid liability.
