| 单词 | intimidation |
| 释义 | intimidation intimidation the tort of using unlawful pressure. There is controver- sy as to whether it covers the situation between two parties in a con- tractual relationship. It is settled, however, that it is a tort in a three- party situation, that is, where A threatens B that if does not do some- thing to C, A will do something unlawful to B. Thus, any court action is by C, who is injured against A who used B as his club with which to injure him. Although the common law has always 'been there' and is simply declared by judges, it was not until the case of Rookes v. Barnard [1964] AC 1129 that the House of Lords made it clear that it did exist. The Trade Dispute Act 1965 was passed to extend the immunity of trade unions to cover this tort, subject, of course, to the nature of the trade union immunity from time to time in force. |
