What interferences with liberty are recognised under the Australian Law?
A. Interference with liberty most often arises where a person is drawn into legal proceedings or if physically restrained. Three main rights of action provide redress where legal processes are abused: malicious prosecution, abuse of process and maintenance. These legal rights or torts are exceptions to the general immunity that protects participants in both civil and criminal legal proceedings from subsequent civil actions in respect of that participation. Q. Some friends and I decided to rent a holiday cottage so that we could have a party over the weekend. Unfortunately a number of my friends became unruly and trashed the cottage. The holiday rental was in my name even though everyone shared the costs of the weekend equally. The real estate agent is holding me responsible for the damage and all my friends have deserted me. Can you help?
