This document provides an overview of public law and private law in three branches each. Public law includes criminal law, administrative law, and constitutional law. Criminal law deals with crimes against society, people, and property. Administrative law relates to government operations. Constitutional law establishes the structure of government and protects civil rights. Private law also has three branches: property law, contract law, and tort law. Tort law, sometimes called civil law, addresses non-criminal incidents like negligence, nuisance, trespass, and defamation through civil lawsuits rather than criminal charges. The landmark negligence case Donoghue v Stevenson established the legal concept of duty of care.

Involve incidents where one person has
inconvenienced or breached the rights of
another.
TORT LAW

Negligence Nuisance Trespass Defamation
11. Common tort
Key concept is of „duty of
care‟
Everyone has some legal
responsibility to ensure that
they do not cause harm to
others or their property
Established through the
case Donoghue v Stevenson
(1932) [the snail in the
bottle]
NEGLIGENCE
12. DonoghuevStevenson
(1932)
Mrs Donoghue met a friend in a café; the
friend bought drinks for them both – ginger
beer.
The café owner poured some ginger beer
into Donoghue‟s glass; Donoghue drank
this, then poured the rest of the bottle.
A half-rotted snail fell out of the bottle into
the glass. Donoghue became physically ill
as a result of this.
Donoghue launched legal action against Mr
Stevenson, who made the ginger beer.
Because Donoghue did not buy the
drink, the initial decision was that she had
no contract (either with the café or the
manufacturer) so could not sue.
Donoghue appealed, and the case was
eventually heard in the British House of
Lords
13. DonoghuevStevenson
(1932)–FINALDECISION
The judge decided that individuals should
be protected against products which are
not of an appropriate standard (and should
be able to seek remedy if they are harmed
in this way).
The judge also decided that there was an
implied contract between Stevenson and
Donoghue – it was reasonable for
Donoghue to expect that the drink she
consumed would be safe, even though she
did not purchase it herself.
Stevenson, the softdrink manufacturer, was
proven to have a duty of care to produce a
product that was safe to drink.
14. Involves one person
interfering with the rights
of another

interfering with the
property of another
Usually involves entering
someone‟s land without
permission

person‟s reputation
Eg: publishing or
broadcasting misleading
information about a person
AND this information
damaging the reputation of
that person
NOT defamation if:
The information is true
The person‟s reputation is
unharmed (i.e. people don‟t think
less of them because of the
statement)
DEFAMATION
