Answer #1

In the given situation, two persons Amanda and Leslie are there. Amanda pranked with Leslie. Here, Leslie is the victim. Amanda pranked with the intention to harm Leslie. Here, Leslie was not physically injured, but soaked due to Amanda’s act. Hence it will be considered battery. Leslie successfully sues Amanda.

Please note, that acts that intend to harm or injure some person are classified in assault and battery. Assault includes the cases where the attempt is done using violence or force. Assault can be defined as an attempted battery in some cases. In the case of the battery, it is not necessary that a person is injured, offensive contact also attracts battery. Here, offensive contact has happened. Hence, the Battery is applied.
