  • Droit des délits (common law)

L'autorisation légale peut aussi constituer une défense dans des cas de responsabilité délictuelle intentionnelle. [...] Bien que la plupart des causes concernent des méfaits reprochés à des agents de police dans le cours d'arrestations, ce privilège peut être invoqué par les parents, les enseignants, les capitaines de navires, et les autres personnes qui punissent par la force des enfants ou des membres d'équipage qui sont sous leur contrôle.
