What does not constitute false imprisonment?
Usually, mere inconvenience will not constitute total restraint. Also,
where you are arrested or detained by the police lawfully, you will also be
unable to claim under false imprisonment as your arrest or detention would be
deemed justified. The courts may also not hold that a situation is one of false
imprisonment if there is a reasonable cause for detention.
If you suspect that you have been falsely imprisoned, please do not
hesitate to contact a lawyer who may advice you on whether you can make out a case
of false imprisonment. You
may wish to seek legal advice from a Singapore
Civil Lawyer in
Singapore.
