think a woman can falsly accuse a man and send in jail for 10 years ( destroy life ). Does Australia have any laws against this?, It became a viral topic in India after some false accusastions were proven continuousely. Beleive me its critical
C'mon, Australia has 6 states and 2 territories. The law in each state and territory is different, there is no such thing as the law in Australia governing assualt. Also there was no mention of affray .
mostly misleading video, please ignore. Note to creator/editor: You seem to have completely ignored jurisdiction AND MOST IMPORTANTLY seem to have conflated "Assault" with "Battery".... shameful representation. #Torts101
I believe you're right; the Judicial Commission of NSW's website states: _An _*_assault_*_ is any direct and intentional threat made by a person that places the plaintiff in reasonable apprehension of an imminent contact with the plaintiff’s person, either by the defendant or by some person or thing within the defendant’s control: K Barker, P Cane, M Lunney and F Trindade, The Law of Torts In Australia, 5th edn, Oxford University Press, Australia and New Zealand, 2011 at 44 (“Barker et al”)._ _A _*_battery_*_ is a voluntary and positive act, done with the intention of causing contact with another, that directly causes that contact: Barker et al at p 36. See Carter v Walker (2010) 32 VR 1 at [215] for a summary of the definition of “battery”._ Source: www.judcom.nsw.gov.au/publications/benchbks/civil/intentional_torts.html
