Jill is much stronger than Jack and stares at him in a menacing way. One day she tells Jack that she is going to beat him if she ever sees him again. Several hours later she sees Jack coming out of his house and proceeds to punch him in the face. Jack will probably bring a lawsuit against Jill:

for assault and battery

Explanation: Assault is the threat of bodily harm made to an individual while battery is actually carrying out the threat. Both are separate offences but may occur together such as in the case of Jack and Jill where Jill threatened to punch as well as actually punched Jack in the face. If Jill only threatened Jack but didn't follow through with the punching, Jack could have only sued Jill for assault.

Assault and battery is a criminal offence but according to tort law may also be a civil suit. This means that apart from the penalties for the criminal act, Jill may have to pay compensation to Jack in a civil suit if Jack decides to file one.
