Torts

Tort law boils down to a few elements you have to have in mind before analysing any case. Lumi quizzes you on those elements and on the special regimes.

How to turn this subject into cards

Make one note per tort, negligence, nuisance, strict liability, with its elements and standard. Always quiz yourself on duty, breach, causation and damage first, then on what changes in each tort. The trap is jumping into causation before checking that a duty exists. Lumi helps you retain elements, standards and names of doctrines.
