Module Aims
To identify and apply the constituents and
developments within the law of tort;
To consider and evaluate relevant remedies to breaches of tortious obligations;
To apply the law within a transactional based learning environment.
Content Summary
Students will examine and apply legal rules concerning the major areas within tortious obligations including negligence, occupier’s liability, vicarious liability and defences;
They will then move on to evaluate and apply appropriate remedies both common law and equity based;
The students will make use of an electronic simulation platform which will allow them to engage in a transactional based approach to learning.
Transactional based learning will underpin their course work allowing them to work in teams, dealing with a larger, more complex based series of transactions, thus allowing the students to simulate a more realistic approach to application and consideration of torts based obligations and remedies.
