| Course Description | This course will build on the foundations of the introduction to Torts in first semester. The aim of the course is to focus on specific areas of torts law, beyond negligence principles, including defamation, recovery for economic loss, intentional torts, breach of statutory duty and concurrent liability (proportionate liability and contribution claims). The course will include a critical analysis of the role of policy in the development of the law and provide an opportunity for students to critically analyse the developments of the law. The specific skills of legal research and writing will be introduced. Students will be expected to explore legislative enactment through consideration of explanatory memoranda, background papers and Hansard. |
