Law Subject Extension: Law of Tort: Part 2

Tort law is a collection of legal rules and ideas which protect you from harm and vindicates many of your rights but you probably haven't hear of it that much unless you've already looked at legal questions.
The most famous tort is negligence, one you might have heard of. In this module you'll look at a case within the tort of negligence called Nettleship v Weston from 1971 (www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/C.... The key question in the case was how much care the driver of a care should take when driving on the road.
From such a simple question you'll be able to engage with incredibly difficult issues such as what it means to be at fault, what risks we actually accept compared to what risks we do accept in life and who ultimately should pay for harm done in society. You can also read one of the judgments of one of the twentieth century's most famous and most fascinating judges!
