Negligent False Imprisonment?
By definition of the law, Is it possible to negligently falsely imprison somebody? Is there another name for this? An example that arises in law classes is the case of a Walmart consumer being accused of shoplifting and held in detention for an unreasonable amount of time. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong tort. Can someone help me? Does anyone know the name of this specific case?Negligent False Imprisonment?
