Caveat viator
Caveat viator (let the traveller beware), meaning that he must use reasonable care for his own safety; but a traveller or passer-by on premises on or over which he has a right to be or to pass is entitled to be protected from the negligence of those who are under some duty to passers-by or users of the premises. The degree of duty varies according to whether the victim of the accident has a contract involving care or even absolute assurance or warranty on the part of the defendant in regard to the soundness of the premises or otherwise, or whether the plaintiff was a visitor or licensee. See Indermaur v. Dames, (1866) LR 1 CP 274, Latham v. Johnson, 1913 (1) KB 398, and Norman v. Great Western Railway Company, 1915 (1) KB 584 (2) CP 311.

Holbrook, (1828) 4 Bing 628, with that exception, the owner of th...

False imprisonment
False imprisonment, restraining personal liberty without lawful authority, for which offence the law has not only decreed a punishment as a public crime, but has also given a private reparation to the party as well by removing the actual confinement for the present by habeas corpus, as by subjecting the wrongdoer to an action of trespass, etc., usually called an action of false imprisonment, on account of the damage sustained by the loss of time and liberty. It must amount to a total restraint of the plaintiff's liberty for some period, however short, see Bird v. Jones, (1845) 7 QB 742. As to the persons liable, see Walters v. W.H. Smith & Son, Ltd., (1914) 1 KB 595; Herd v. Weardale Steel Co., 1915 AC 67. The onus of proving the defence of reasonable or probable cause lies on the defendant.

National...
