Amcanion cyffredinol
Tort is a compulsory module in the LLB programme. The aim of this module is to enable students to state and apply the rules of the English law of torts dealt with in the course accurately and relevantly, and to make assessments of that law and the scholarship pertaining thereto. This module will enable students to learn to establish when a right exists that the law of torts protects, and then if that right is infringed, without lawful reason, whether there are any remedies available. It will enable students to compare and contrast that law accurately and relevantly with the equivalent areas of any other legal system with which the student is familiar, and to relate that law to the particular circumstances - political, social, cultural - in which it developed.
Cynnwys cwrs
The module will allow the student to study the modern English law of torts, in particular the law relating to: negligence, nuisance, liability for psychiatric injury, occupiers' liability, product liability, trespass to the person and other major torts to allow the students to apply the general principles and defences.
