LAW1480 – Torts

Tort law consists of a collection of individual torts designed to protect particular private interests. It is most easily divided between conduct that is intentional and conduct that is negligent.  After a brief introduction to the law of torts, the 1^st term will focus on the intentional torts.  Often referred to as the nominate (named) torts, these torts involve conduct that is wrongful when deliberately committed and damage (to person or property) is caused.   The 1^st term will conclude with an introduction to the law of negligence, in which injury results from a failure to take the necessary care not to cause harm (as opposed to intentionally causing the harm).  The 2^nd term will be devoted to studying the law of negligence as this area dominates modern Canadian tort law.  Tort law also encompasses torts of strict liability where there is no need to prove wrongful (intentional or negligent conduct). Strict liability will be briefly addressed if there is adequate time.
