Colonial Law Group | Identification of common torts (intentional and unintentional). An Introduction to the Legal Aspects of Investing and Establishing a Business in Canada.
Any civil wrong is subject matter of Law of torts. Principles of law of torts have been discussed in this presentation for the students in simple ways.
This document defines torts and their key elements. It provides definitions of tort from several sources, including Sir Salmond who defines it as a civil wrong resulting in unliquidated damages that is not a breach of contract. Two elements of tort are identified: (1) damage, which requires both damnum (financial loss) and injuria (unauthorized interference); and (2) mens rea, or a culpable state of mind, which in torts refers to a wrongful intention or culpable negligence rather than a wicked motive. Torts are distinguished from crimes in that torts involve a private wrong while crimes harm the community; torts involve a suit between parties while crimes are prosecuted by the state; and tort
This document defines and explains various aspects of tort law. It begins by defining a tort as a civil wrong involving a breach of duty to someone else, unlike crimes which involve duties to society. It then discusses who commits torts (tortfeasors), what constitutes a legal injury, and the prominent tort of negligence. The document categorizes torts into negligence torts, intentional torts, and statutory torts. It provides examples of each and discusses the circumstances of tort cases, including the plaintiff's burden of proof, duty of care, breach, damages, and defenses. Specific torts like nuisance and defamation are also explained.
This document discusses the key concepts of tort law. It begins by defining a tort as a civil wrong under law that is not exclusively a breach of contract. It notes torts originate from breaches of duties imposed by law and are redressable by unliquidated damages claims. The document outlines different categories of torts impacting persons, families, reputation, property and economic rights. It examines important tort law principles like duty of care, function of torts to shift loss, and defenses like act of God. Overall, the document provides a high-level overview of the origins and principles of the law of torts.
The document provides an introduction to the law of torts in India. It discusses several key points:
1) Tort law in India is mainly based on English common law but has been adapted to Indian conditions.
2) Compensation, rather than punishment, plays a less prominent role in the Indian legal system compared to England.
3) The Indian Supreme Court has said that Indian judicial thinking on torts should not be limited by foreign laws and that new principles need to be developed to deal with modern problems.
Tort law protects various absolute, qualified, and public rights. Absolute rights include the rights to liberty, security, property, and reputation. Qualified rights refer to the right to not suffer damages due to another's negligence. Public rights are those that all people can commonly enjoy, like using public highways. Tort law provides legal recourse for violations of these rights through compensation or injunctions.
This document discusses the key principles of tort law, including that the law gives people certain rights and imposes a duty to respect the rights of others, so if a right is infringed the wrongdoer is liable in tort and must pay compensation. It distinguishes between crimes, torts, and breaches of contract by explaining that crimes are prohibited by law and punished by the state, while torts and breaches of contract are civil wrongs where the wronged party sues for compensation. The document also covers issues like proving damages, remoteness of damages, and comparing the similarities and differences between tortious and contractual liability.

To prove negligence, one must show that the defendant had a duty, breached that duty, and caused actual damages. Strict liability imposes liability even without a finding of fault if the defendant engaged in an ultrahazardous activity. The document also discusses elements of various torts, defenses, types of damages, and how to brief a case using IRAC.

1. Conspiracy can be considered a tort as well as a criminal offense. Under tort law, conspiracy involves an unlawful agreement between two or more persons to harm another or use unlawful means against a claimant.
2. There are three main types of conspiracy under tort: general conspiracy which aims to harm others, conspiracy to injure where the sole purpose is to damage someone, and unlawful means conspiracy which involves using illegal actions against a claimant.
3. While conspiracy under tort is recognized in India, it remains an underdeveloped area of law, and proving conspiracy against a group is challenging if all members cannot be shown to be complicit. Further legal reforms are needed.
This document discusses various theories of tort law, including the wider and narrower theories, and the pigeon hole theory. It also compares torts and crimes, torts and contracts, and explores concepts like damnum sine injuria, injuria sine damnum, malice, motive, malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance. Key differences between tort and crime include private vs public wrongs, the need for mens rea in crimes, and remedies involving damages vs punishment. Intent and motive are also distinguished.
The document discusses contracts of indemnity and guarantee under Indian contract law. It defines a contract of indemnity as a promise to save someone from loss caused by one's own actions or another's actions. A contract of guarantee involves three parties where a surety promises a creditor that they will perform or pay if a principal debtor defaults. The document outlines the essential elements of these contracts, rights of the parties, and key cases that have helped establish principles like when an indemnifier's liability arises and implied rights of indemnifiers. It concludes that indemnity contracts are commonly used but their outcomes are unpredictable, requiring careful drafting to clearly allocate risks and liabilities.
This document summarizes a chapter from a business law textbook on criminal law and business.

Bankruptcy laws automatic stay is one such protection – the enjoinment of parties from taking actions against the debtor upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition – that is sometimes trumped by environmental law concerns, namely, the police and regulatory exception to the automatic stay.

Workshop Overview
1.0 Introduction
2.0 Legal Ethics and Civil Litigation
3.0 Cause of Action
4.0 Limitations of Actions
5.0 Personal Injuries Process
Introduction
This week and next week we are looking at what needs to be considered prior to commencing an action.
Next week we look at the courts and which court certain matters can be brought in.
Client Care
Should you find yourself working as a litigation solicitor, the nature of your clients and the management skills required will vary according to:
large/medium/small firm;
community/government/corporate sector; and
position within firm/organisation.
For example:
large commercial firm – sophisticated, well-resourced, repeat clients; large matters with sometimes many lawyers working exclusively on one matter.
small firm – less sophisticated, one-off clients with relatively few resources; one lawyer will be responsible for many files.
Client Care
Regardless of the firm/organisation, there are some basic tenets of client care which are generally applicable:
promote positive and productive interaction between clients and all members of the firm;
be available, approachable, interested, understanding of client needs, trustworthy, honest and competent;
mutual expectations should be clear, with transparent complaint resolution procedures in place; and
clients should be updated regularly, and receive value for money
Client Care
Honesty and competence are particularly significant in a litigation context:
any client contemplating litigation needs to understand that litigation is expensive, time consuming and uncertain; and
clients need to be provided with a realistic, not optimistic, assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of commencing litigation.
Rules about client care may be enforced in contract and/or tort, and are reflected in statute and delegated legislation.
For example, Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld):
Part 3.4 – disclosure clients regarding costs (s 308)
File Management
Basic file management requirements include:
keeping a paper-trail (or what electronically now amounts to a paper trail):
everything – instructions, advice, research, memos, record of telephone conversations, and so on; and
important if a client challenges you on a step taken in the action or on costs; dates and bring-up systems:
paper and electronic; and
very important in litigation, where missed court dates, filing times etc can be very costly for your client;
working on files of others:
clear instructions from acting solicitor crucial;
can be totally responsible (eg acting solicitor on leave) or partially (eg preparation of a research memo on a particular issue); and
again, paper-trail very important; handover of files:
carefully manage with client;
clear instructions important; and
usual practice is to leave a file note providing background on the matter, current status, and necessary further steps/important dates.

FIN 3610 General Insurance
Chapter 19 – The Liability Risk
The Liability Risk
Welcome back to general insurance and congratulations on being two thirds through the course! I hope you all did well on Exam Two! I think you'll find this course very interesting, as well as very useful in your personal life.
We will talk about liability risks and then, in the next module, we go into homeowners insurance that I'm sure you will find it very helpful in your personal insurance planning, as well as in Chapter 22, where we will cover the automobile insurance policy. The last module in this section of the course will cover Chapters 25 and 26 on commercial property and commercial liability insurance. A lot of that information is similar to what we will talk about in this chapter.
Now here we will discuss the law of negligence in tort reform. You have heard a lot about tort reform and how different states address different liability issues. I think you'll find that tort reform is very important to the success of the insurance industry. We will talk about specific topics such as the law of negligence, elements of negligence, application of the law of negligence to specific situations, and tort reform.
Take a moment now before we start all of these interesting topics, and google an interesting lawsuit! I just put in my computer crazy liability claims, and I found the 10 most ridiculous lawsuits of all times.
http://www.the-injury-lawyer-directory.com/ridiculous_lawsuits.html . On sites such as this, you will find how some plans and even criminals may stretch the law to try to receive compensation and liabilities. For example the second claim listed is entitled if you can't sue the system, sue yourself. It states in 1995 Robert Brock sued himself for $5 million. He claimed that he had violated his own civil rights and religious beliefs, allowing himself to get drunk and commit crimes which landed him in jail, serving a twenty-three year sentence for grand larceny and breaking and entering. What could he possibly have to gain by suing himself? Since being in prison prevented him from having an income, he expected that the state would pay. Fortunately, that case was thrown out.
You can find thousands of other cases equally ridiculous if you just spend a little time googling liability claims involving tort reform. Following through the chapter on the law of negligence, you will find a lot of these terms are similar to what you might've started in your business law class. The course begins by providing a basis of legal ability including specific definitions for important terms such as torts, negligence, strict liability, and damages. You will see a breakdown of most of these times and or specific definitions depending on the exact situation.
It's important for students to understand the elements of negligence to understand the entire liability process. Note on slide six and again on page 407 in your textbook that four elements must occur before an act is declare ...
