Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Medicine - Public Health, grade: 1.6, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: Tortuous liability is applied in healthcare in order to monitor claims and lawsuits arising from medical malpractices and negligence of their staff. Precisely, ‘tort’ refers to wrongful action committed by a person. The remedy to tort is damages, and this forms a part of the law of obligation. Currently, juries doctor program has made the principles of tortuous liability compulsory for their students. In this program, students learn the fundamental elements of tort liability in areas such as breach of duty, causation, negligence and defenses to liability. Tort liability in many healthcare setting is based on the conduct of personnel working at the facility as well as the organization itself. Tort law has mainly two objectives; deterrence and compensation. Seemingly, in 2002, the Australia tort laws went through major changes. Tort laws in Australia are divided into three groups namely; negligence torts, strict liability torts and intentional torts. Negligence torts refer to civil wrongs that occur due to one’s failure in exercising care against risk of known harm. Intentional torts are defined as deliberate action that results to harming a plaintiff. Classical example of intentional tort includes fraud and defamation. Strict liability torts impose accountability on a company that is not guilty of wrongdoing but its activities cause dangerous harm to the society despite taking the appropriate care. According to researchers, reasonable comprehension of tort can aid in minimizing the occurrence of tort liability. Risk managers have a duty of updating all the relevant organizations procedures and policies so as to meet the stipulated legal requirements. Any change in policy must be passed to the organizational staff in order to familiarize them with the incoming changes and probable effect on their daily activities. Therefore, this analysis focuses on the impact of reforms on tort law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Group on Tort Law presents the results of its extensive research project, the Principles of European Tort Law. They were drafted on the basis of several comparative studies on the most fundamental questions of tortious liability and the law of damages. The Principles are not a mere restatement of the common core of tort law in Europe, but rather a proposal for a comprehensive system of tortious liability for the future, though necessarily linked to existing regimes. They are meant to stimulate discussion both among academics and practitioners and could serve as guidelines for national legislatures, thereby fostering gradual harmonization. The text of the Principles, which is offered in English and several other languages, is accompanied by commentaries on the various parts elaborating their intended meaning and interplay.

Download or read book Products Liability Law written by Mark Geistfeld and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Products Liability Law, Second Edition, by prolific tort scholar Mark Geistfeld, represents the “next generation” of casebooks on products liability. Earlier texts focused on the relative merits of strict liability and negligence, embodied in the apparently competing liability frameworks of the consumer expectations test in the Restatement (Second) of Torts and the risk-utility test in the Restatement (Third) of Torts. The majority of courts, however, have incorporated the risk-utility test into the framework of consumer expectations. By providing balanced coverage of both consumer expectations and the risk-utility test, the casebook keeps pace with ongoing developments in the case law and moves beyond the battles that largely defined products liability in the twentieth century. In addition to teaching students how liability rules protect consumer expectations via comprehensive application of the risk-utility test, this innovative casebook underscores the importance of doctrinal history, the psychology of evaluating product risks, and the role of products liability in the modern regulatory state. Students will learn how courts have applied established doctrines to novel problems ranging from the relevance of scientific evidence in toxic-tort cases to the distribution of defective products on the Amazon online marketplace. To further illustrate this dynamic, the casebook has twenty-nine problems with associated analysis involving the liability issues likely to be raised by the emerging technology of autonomous vehicles. Finally, the casebook reinforces students’ knowledge of fundamental tort principles while developing specialized expertise and a deeper understanding of the torts process. New to the Second Edition: A dozen new main cases updating older case law, providing coverage of new issues not addressed in the First Edition, and/or improving upon the analysis provided by the associated case in the First Edition Retention of the majority of main cases from the first edition, with revisions to the ensuing notes incorporating relevant case law developments A reorganized and updated chapter covering the controversy over the relative merits of the consumer expectations and risk-utility tests Comprehensive discussion of the tort version of the implied warranty—the genesis of the consumer expectations test—and its relation to product malfunctions and the risk-utility test A new chapter addressing the existence of the tort duty and identifying the difference between patent dangers and patent defects Reorganization of the chapter on factual causation, emphasizing the continuity of evidentiary problems running across different types of cases, ranging from the heeding presumption in warning cases, to market-share liability, to proof of both general and specific causation in toxic-tort cases Professors and students will benefit from: Classroom-tested materials taught for over 20 years by an award-winning professor Interesting cases that illustrate both the traditional and contemporary character of products liability litigation; cases are followed by extensive notes Each chapter addressing doctrinal issues concludes with problems on autonomous vehicles. The full set of 29 problems provides students with the necessary background for understanding liability issues posed by this emerging technology. Each problem is followed by the author’s analysis of the associated issues, cross-referenced to the relevant casebook material.

Download or read book The Anatomy of Tort Law written by Peter Cane and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 1997-06-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written to be accessible to all readers with a basic knowledge of tort law, this book adopts an approach which is both easily comprehended, yet also innovative and illuminating. It sets out a new and theoretically stimulating analysis of the law of tort, in which the subject is reconceived as a system of ethical rules and principles of personal responsibility. As such it can be viewed as a series of relationships between protected interests, sanctioned conduct and sanctions. These are the "building blocks" of tort law. Beyond affording a means of comprehending the fragmentary nature of tort law, the book, equally importantly, seeks to develop understanding of its relationship with other areas of the law of obligations. It also permits clearer understanding of the relationship between common law and statutory torts and throws fresh light on the links between tort law and its functions.
Download or read book The Evolution from Strict Liability to Fault in the Law of Torts written by Anthony Gray and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gradually, the law of tort has shifted away from a strict-liability approach to one where fault predominates. This book charts important case law documenting this shift. It seeks to understand how and why it occurred. Given that the Rylands v Fletcher decision is typically seen as a prime exemplar of strict liability, it focusses particularly on that case, as part of the historical development of tort law. It considers the intellectual arguments made in favour of strict liability, and for fault-based liability. Having done so, it then focusses on particular areas of the law of tort, including nuisance, defamation and trespass. It is somewhat anomalous that though most would view these as examples of torts of strict liability, fault considerations have become prominent in their application. This presents an uneasy compromise, where torts that are notionally strict in nature are infused with fault considerations, often through exceptions or defences. This book advocates for further development in the law of tort to better reflect a primarily fault-based approach to liability, at least in the common law. This would make the law of tort more coherent.
