Public Necessity
Crushendo defines this key bar prep and torts term.
What does public necessity mean?
public necessity – A defense when you’re sued for illegally using, or trespassing on, someone else’s property, but your interference is excused because it was to reasonably protect public interests. Say you borrow a truck without permission to cart the wounded to the hospital during a mass shooting. Public necessity can even excuse damages from your use.
