- W1553781518 abstract "The tort of battery exists to protect personal sovereignty over the body. Because the battery cause of action is concerned primarily with the autonomy of the individual, it is not necessary to show actual harm in order to recover for non-consensual contact of any kind. Even the administration of a life-saving substance may, in the absence of consent, give rise to liability in battery. When a plaintiff’s body is involuntarily invaded by particles of a toxic substance, her or his bodily integrity is compromised and individual autonomy violated. This article argues that a prima facie claim in battery arises whenever a defendant exposes a plaintiff to a poorly understood or potentially dangerous chemical. Such a defendant may exculpate itself by showing that it obtained explicit or implicit informed consent from a plaintiff with the capacity to choose. With this reasonable limitation, the battery cause of action is singularly well equipped to vindicate the individual’s right to bodily autonomy in contemporary industrialised society." @default.
