trespass Any interference with the rights of another person. Historically the distinction between trespass and an Action On The Case was determined by whether the interference was direct or indirect. The defendant's motive was not usually at issue Basely v Clarkson (1681), for example]]. see: Letang V Cooper1964 confirms that the modern approach is to distinuish trespass from negligence by the motive of the defendant.
