Force
AI Assist
Summary
Causing motion, a change in motion, or stopping motion of another person counts as using force, including causing an object to move so it touches their body, clothes, or affects their sense of feeling. The motion can be caused by your own bodily power, by placing a thing so it moves without any further act, or by inducing an animal to move. Touching the person directly is not necessary.
Example
Priya loosens a stack of mango crates on a shelf so one falls and hits Ravi on the arm. Even though Priya did not touch Ravi, her act caused the crate to move and contact him, so it counts as using force under this rule.
Bare Act
Enacted textA person is said to use force to another if he causes motion, change of motion, or cessation of motion to that other, or if he causes to any substance such motion, or change of motion, or cessation of motion as brings that substance into contact with any part of that other’s body, or with anything which that other is wearing or carrying, or with anything so situated that such contact affects that other’s sense of feeling;
