About: Collins v. Wilcock

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Collins v. Wilcock was a 1984 England and Wales High Court appellate case of trespass to the person focusing on battery. Expanding on Lord John Holt's definition of intent in , Lord Robert Goff's ruling in Collins v. Wilcock narrowed the law. “An assault is committed when a person intentionally or recklessly harms someone indirectly. A battery is committed when a person intentionally and recklessly harms someone directly." But it also says this: “An offense of Common Assault is committed when a person either assaults another person or commits a battery.” It notes that the only distinction between common assault and causing actual bodily harm (under section 47 of the Offenses Against the Person Act 1861) is the degree of injury.
