Intentional infliction of emotional distress is a common law tort that occurs when one party (the defendant) intentionally or recklessly causes severe emotional distress to another party (the claimant) through extreme and outrageous conduct.

R v Wilson [1997] QB 47 is a well-known case in English criminal law decided by the Court of Appeal, establishing the rule that consent to acts that may cause actual bodily harm is a valid consent.
