===== Awareness ===== It is still false imprisonment even where the claimant does not know at the time. So secretly locking someone in a room is false imprisonment. It may also be false imprisonment where a person is rendered unconscious, for example, by being punched (also a battery), or when their drink is spiked by drugs (also wilful harm or negligence), because their freedom of movement is thereby restricted.<ref>Professor Matthew Channon (Exeter University Law School)</ref> For example, in the case of ''Meering v Grahame-White Aviation [1918]''<ref>Meering v Grahame-White Aviation Co Ltd (1920) 122 LT 44</ref> the claimant was told to stay in an office because property was going missing and if they tried to leave the office they would have been stopped. This was held to be a false imprisonment even though the claimant did not know they were being imprisoned.
