Force
AI Assist
Summary
Causing a person to move, to change their motion, or to stop moving, or causing a thing to move so it touches their body, clothes, or affects their sense of feeling, counts as using force. It applies when the movement is caused by (1) your bodily power, (2) placing something so it moves without further action, or (3) making an animal move. Such acts are legally treated as force.
Example
Arjun pushes a table and a glass on it falls and hits Meera's hand. Because Arjun used his bodily power to cause motion and contact, that is use of force under this rule.
