| The intentional tort of false imprisonment is satisfied whenever there is intent to unlawfully confine or restrain the claimant in a bounded area and when this actually causes the claimant to be knowingly confined or restrained in a bounded area unlawfully. For example, the defendant intentionally locks the claimant in the classroom without having the legal authority to do so, and the claimant knows he is trapped. Sometimes courts allow the actual harm to substitute for the awareness of the imprisonment - so even if the claimant is unaware that he is trapped but suffers injury, the tort of false imprisonment is satisfied. However, the claimant should not be trapped willingly and consensually. |
