A defense asserted in a criminal prosecution that a person who committed a crime did not do so of his or her own free will, but only because the individual was compelled by another through the use of physical force or threat of immediate serious bodily injury or death.
Most illegal per se acts rely on statutes which define the illegal act. Usually it is only necessary to prove that the defendant violated the statute, and that the violation was the cause of the plaintiffâs injuries or losses.There is no need to prove that the defendant intended to commit the act.hus, if an act is categorized as illegal per se, it means that it does not require any additional proof or surrounding circumstances, such as intent or a criminal mindset. Merely committing the act would make a person liable for the violation.
