DEFINE THE DEFENSE OF NECESSITY.

 

 

The defendant is permitted to injure the plaintiff’s property if it is reasonably necessary to avoid a substantially greater harm to the public, to himself, or to his property.

This is an objective standard.  The defendant may successfully assert this defense if a reasonable person in the same circumstances would believe it necessary to injure the plaintiff’s property.
