actualisation de voies de fait
French to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
Quebec legal decision in which "l'actualisation de voies de fait" is mentioned as a crime listed in the Schedule to the Crime Victims' Compensation Act. However, the Act itself does not contain any reference to "actualisation". Any suggestions?

Assault
Having read the definition and assuming it is right, it covers intention, perpetration or negligence but we seem here to be in the context of the first type of crime (violence or threats)
As it's Canada, see my reference for the various types of assault but we simply don't use an equivalent word for "actualisation". We would just say to be charged with or found guilty of assault. We also speak of victims of assault.

developing paper roads
In NZ undeveloped rights of way are called Paper Roads, this may be different in Canada, it sounds like someone has for example bulldozed access through a theoretical road on the map without obtaining the necessary permissions.

: sounds indeed like a crime but this is not the formal language necessary and I very much doubt whether it's about roads at all

(Can. > the turning of assault into) actual acts of battery
Actualisation - looks like the Canadian way of expressing an English Common Law idea of assault, not in the sense of updated or re-assessed, but of threats (the legal definition of assault) turning into the *actual application of force* (battery).
'Assault and battery is the combination of two violent crimes: assault (the threat of violence) and battery (crime) (physical violence). This legal distinction exists only in jurisdictions (Canada?) that distinguish assault as threatened violence rather than actual violence.'

Discussion
Not sure about "actualisation" but one meaning is that it goes from being virtual to actual.
Here are a few examples I found:
Crime Victims Compensation Act
Schedule
Description of offence
239. "attempted murder"
266. "assault" ("voies de fait" in the French version of the website)
270. "assault interfering with lawful process"
423. "intimidation by violence"
432. "mischief causing actual danger to life"
