单词 | intimidation |
释义 | intimidation Under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 it is also an offence to intimidate a person whom the offender believes to be a potential or actual witness or juror. 2. An economic tort in which A, with the intention of harming B, either directly threatens B with some unlawful act or threatens C with an unlawful act in order to make him cause damage to B’s interests. Thus if A threatens to do an unlawful act to B’s employer (C) unless he dismisses B, and C succumbs to the threat, B has an action for intimidation against A for causing the loss of his job. It is irrelevant that C was entitled to dismiss B and did not act unlawfully: the essence of the tort is A’s unlawful threat. The operation of the tort in trade disputes is limited by statute. See also causing loss by unlawful means. |
