Which of the following is true with regard to the torts of assault and battery?

▸ Assault is the threat of interference viewed as harmful by the victim.

▸ For consent to be an effective legal defence to a claim of battery, the person hit must have been surprised by the incident.

▸ A person will always succeed with the defence of self-defence even if he or she used excessive force.

▸ Both torts are "actionable per se"; that is, a person can successfully sue without having to prove damages.

▸ The amount of damages paid to Joe, injured by another's battery, will be an amount to cover the extent of injury suffered by a normal person regardless of Joe's actual injuries.
