Intention:
It is no defence to action in tort for the wrong-doer to plead that he did not intend to cause damage, if damage has resulted owing t an act or omission on his part which is directly the effect of his volition. When the doer of an act adverts to a consequence of his act and desires it to follow, he is said to intend the consequence. A person who does a wrongful act intentionally would be liable in law. To take the classic example given by prof. Street, if a man throw a stone at women, his act in intentional. If it turns out that he did so because she had jilted him, he would still be liable in tort , as that would only show his motive.
Intention is an agent's specific purpose in performing an action or series of actions, the end or goal that is aimed at. Outcomes that are not anticipated and not foreseen are known as unintended consequences.
