Battery is the intentional act of harmful or offensive contact with another person. In this scenario, Harvey intentionally punched Raymond in the face, causing harm and injury. Therefore, he is liable for battery. Negligence refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care and caution, disparagement refers to the act of making false or derogatory statements about someone's reputation, and embezzlement refers to the theft or misappropriation of funds/assets by someone in a position of trust. None of these apply to this scenario.
