What intent is required for the tort of trespass to land?
What will be an ideal response?
The defendant's only intent must be to make physical contact with the plaintiff's land. the defendant need not intend any harm to the plaintiff's property nor even be aware that any harm might occur. A defendant is still liable for trespass even if his or her contact with the plaintiff's land is the result of a reasonable mistake. An intentional trespass is committed, for example, if a defendant walks on another's land thinking it to be his own or believing he is entitled to enter the land.
