FAQ
The tort of false imprisonment involves an unlawful restraint on freedom of movement or personal liberty. Therefore, two essential elements to constitute false imprisonment are: Detention or restraint against a person's will, Unlawfulness of the detention or restraint.
In order to recover for a tort based on negligence, an injured person must show a duty of the other person, a breach of the duty, and that the breach was the actual and proximate cause of the injury and injury or damage. Any word or symbol qualifies for protection as a trademark.
False imprisonment by fraud or deceit consists of curtailing someone else's liberty by lying to them. The fraud or deceit must be intentional. For instance, if you tell a co-worker to stay in his office due to a bomb threat, believing it to be true, you haven't committed false imprisonment even if you are mistaken.
The chain of causation is broken when an intervening cause (otherwise known as a “superseding cause”) severs the link between cause-and-effect. This can only occur when the intervening cause is unforeseeable, however.
False Imprisonment Defenses. Consent, justification, and self-defense or defense of others are all defenses to hostage false imprisonment.
False Imprisonment. The direct restraint of the physical liberty of another without legal justification.
California Penal Code 236 PC defines false imprisonment as the unlawful violation of someone else's personal liberty. To violate someone's liberty means a sustained restriction of their freedom using violence, duress, fraud, or deceit.
Being Held Against Your Will in a Healthcare Facility: Sometimes, a healthcare facility or nursing home will confine patients without their consent. For instance, this could involve a patient being prevented from leaving when they want to or being physically restrained without proper justification.
The most common defense is consent. In other words, the victim voluntarily agreed to being confined. However, it merits mention that someone under 18 years of age is legally incapable of giving consent.
Examples of false imprisonment: You prevent someone from leaving by grabbing that person's arm; You lock someone in a bedroom; You tie someone to a chair. Note, however, that if the person consented to any of these acts, it wouldn't be false imprisonment.
