Lecture 1: Basics of Tort & Classification of Civil Wrongs
As the first lecture of this short tort course, this lecture aims to provide background knowledge on torts in English law. Torts are civil wrongs and there are different types of torts. In this lecture, we will look at the classifications of civil wrongs and the main types of torts.
Lecture 2: Negligence: Duty of Care & Breach of Duty
In this lecture, we will look at one of the most important torts, the tort of negligence in English law. We will look at what negligence is, what duties are, different types of duties and how they are established and breached. We will also look at the relevant case law and how courts decided on them. After this lecture, the participants will be familiar with the most iconic case law and fundamentals of the tort of negligence.
Lecture 3: Damages & Equitable Remedies
Damages are the first remedy in tort. However, courts do not award damages every time. When damages are not satisfactory, courts might award equitable remedies. In this lecture, we will look at how damages are calculated, what the main equitable remedies in tort are, and when they might be awarded.
Lecture 4: Employer's Liability & Vicarious Liability
In this last lecture, we will look at another important liability that participants might come across in their practice. Sometimes, apart from the person who committed the tort, additional parties might also be liable. The general term for this liability is vicarious liability, and employer’s liability is the most common type of vicarious liability. We will look at situations in which vicarious liability arises, with a particular focus on employer’s liability.
