Another problem involving the use of words is the question of "conditional assault". If one person points a gun at another and says, "Your money or your life!", it might be argued that it is not assault because the plaintiff may avoid any harm by complying with the condition and parting with his money. It could be contended that the requirement of immediacy is absent. Such an argument is fallacious, however, for one cannot impose conditions upon another, when one has no legal right to do so. It would be otherwise of a landowner said to a trespasser, "Get off my land or I’ll throw you off, "for in such a case, the landowner is only threatening to do what he is entitled to do anyway. 1, record 2, English, - conditional%20assault

Un autre problème relié aux paroles est celui des «voies de fait conditionnelles». Si un individu braque une arme sur quelqu'un en lui disant : «la bourse ou la vie!», on pourrait soutenir qu'il n'y a pas de voies de fait parce que le demandeur peut éviter tout préjudice en se soumettant à la condition et en se défaisant de son argent. On pourrait soutenir que le caractère d'imminence est absent, mais cet argument est faux car personne ne peut, sans justification, imposer des conditions à une autre personne. La situation serait différente si un propriétaire disait à un intrus «Si vous ne déguerpissez pas, je vous expulserai moi-même!», puisque, dans ce cas, le propriétaire menace seulement de faire ce qu'il a le droit de faire de toute façon. 2, record 2, French, - voies%20de%20fait%20conditionnelles

An action for mesne profits is an action of trespass brought to recover profits derived from land whilst the possession of it was improperly withheld, that is, the yearly value of the premises. Mesne profits are the rents and profits which a trespasser has, or might have received or made during his occupation of the premises, and which, therefore, he must pay over to the true owner as compensation for the tort which he has committed. A claim for rent is therefore liquidated, while a claim for mesne profits is always unliquidated. 1, record 6, English, - action%20for%20mesne%20profits

A tenancy at sufferance arises where a tenant, having entered under a valid tenancy, holds over without the landlord's assent or dissent. Such a tenant differs from a trespasser in that his original entry was lawful, and from a tenant at will in that his tenancy exists without the landlord's consent. A tenancy at sufferance can arise only by operation of law, and not by express grant, for it assumes an absence of agreement between landlord and tenant.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 640). 1, record 9, English, - tenancy%20at%20sufferance

Overholding with consent. Until rent is paid or something said or done on the part of the landlord to indicate an intention to treat the tenant holding over as his tenant for a further term, the landlord may treat him as a trespasser and bring an action of ejectment. When, however, a tenant is allowed to continue in possession after the expiration of a tenancy by agreement, the terms on which he continues to occupy are matters of evidence rather than of law. If there is nothing to show a different understanding he will be considered to hold on the terms of the old lease in so far as these terms are applicable. It is also a question of intention whether the parties, when the lease provides for overholding, intend the tenant to remain under the overholding provisions or under a new lease.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 285-286) 1, record 11, English, - holding%20over
