A concept in tort law that states that if defendant intends harm to A but harms B instead, the intent is said to be transferred to the harm befalling the actual victim, as far as defendant's liability to B in tort is concerned. This is only a "fiction", or a legal conclusion, created in order to accomplish the desired result in terms of liability.
