Torts - LAW203
This unit examines the law of torts and its operation in context from a practical, theoretical and normative perspective. The unit builds on and extends knowledge and skills gained in previous law units, and lays foundation for LAW555 and LAW572. Torts addresses the question of social responsibility between and amongst members of a community, including what obligations we owe to others, and how civil legal standards can and should be used to encourage appropriate behaviour. The law of negligence is the principal focus. Other topics include battery, false imprisonment, trespass to land and goods, nuisance, conversion, detinue, defences, and various categories of liability. Students in the Graduate LLB program will need to obtain waivers to enrol concurrently in LAW115 and LAW203.
