Assume that Olson is the owner of a small retail business. One day at work, Olson hits Edwards over the head with a pipe, knocking Edwards out. Can you imagine any circumstance where Olson would not be liable for battery?

Respuesta :

ananso

Answer:

in self-defence and when Olson tries to protect his staff.

Explanation:

Battery is a type of offence, which is deemed criminal in nature by law, where there is the presence on unconsented physical contact.  

From the question, Olson would not be liable for the said criminal offence defined above when he moves to defend those working in his small business from Edward’s threats. Another situation could also be one in which Edward points a gun at Olsen and the case could be handled to show that Olson only engaged in personal defense of himself and should not be liable for battery.
