Restatement (Second) of Torts § 197 addresses the legal concept of necessity as a defense against liability in tort law. It states that a person may be privileged to enter or interfere with land to prevent serious harm to themselves or others, emphasizing that the necessity must be reasonable and not caused by the actor's own misconduct. This principle connects deeply with situations where an individual acts out of necessity to avert a threat, balancing the need for individual action against property rights.
