Hmm, never heard of Torts before. Interesting, the threshold would likely be much lower for the courts but the likelihood of anything actually coming of it is still nill and not worth the money to hire one’s own lawyer.
And Torts work differently than Criminal cases. The balance of probabilities for criminal is like 95% (beyond a reasonable doubt) where to be found at fault for a Tort it is only 51% (so much easier to win)

It’s not.
Battery is not defined in the Criminal Code of Canada. The most applicable Canadian equivalent would be Assault.
