Instructor(s): Anthony Niblett

The law of torts deals with the sorts of disputes which arise when one person has caused injury or property loss to another. The largest part of the course will deal with the tort of negligence, but we shall also look at nuisance, defamation, as well as introducing strict liability and intentional torts. Different theoretical perspectives on tort law will be analyzed and consideration given to alternative methods of compensation.
