Re: So you can have a choice

I just studied assault in class, but I'm not an expert.

In order for there to be assault, there has to be (a) a threat of bodily harm (b) a present ability to cause the bodily harm (known as battery). Here's examples.

a. A man runs up to you and threatens to punch you in the face. You believe he is going to punch you in the face and he is large and threatening. That is assault.
b. A man calls you on the telephone and threatens to punch you in the face. He is on the telephone and you have no reason to believe that you are presently threatened. That is not assault.

Out of curiosity, what is it if he says he knows where you live and when you come and go and will be waiting for you to punch you in the face?

I don't know all of the case law, so this is just a guess.

That is not an assault. From the way I understand it, it has to be a present, immediate threat. "I'm going to punch you later" is not an assault. "I'm going to punch you right now, I can punch you, and I have the physical ability to do it right now" is an assault.

Probably section 4A (possibly 4 if there was more than merely words) public order.

Dependent upon location of course. Very rare that would constitute assault as legaly defined in any country with case law and not fall under a seperate offence.

NAYRT

Isn't that only in English law? In the law of the United States (which I was talking about above) there intentional infliction of emotional distress, which is similar but very, very rarely is a plaintiff allowed to recover.

I'm a 1L that's taking torts and criminal law. I'm by no means an expert but I love talking about what I learned in class.
