Book excerpt: Tort is a breach of some duty independent of the contract which has caused damage to the plaintiff giving rise to civil cause of action and for which remedy is available. Tort cases include injury in road accidents, injury or death due to spurious foodstuffs, negligent treatment in hospitals, excesses by police authorities, and more. In India, tort law is a relatively new area based on common law, supplemented by codifying statutes including statutes governing damages. While India generally follows English law, there are certain differences which may indicate judicial activism, hence creating controversy. There is little tort litigation in India due to (a) lack of awareness about one's rights, (b) spirit of tolerance among Indians, (c) high cost of litigation which is beyond the means of poor people, (d) undue delay (particularly in civil cases) in the final disposal of cases, and (e) discouraging attitude of the courts in tort cases. The law of torts has a social relevance in India where illiteracy and ignorance are widespread. The marginalized and vulnerable sections of the society, particularly in rural areas, do not understand their rights and privileges under the Constitution of India and the laws enacted there-under. The law of tort needs to be understood by one and all. This handbook explains the law of tort in simple and easily comprehensible language. It will be of immense help to students and practitioners of law. [Subject: Tort Law, India Law]

Download or read book Tort Law in India written by Sathya Narayan and published by . This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in India. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each personand’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The book then proceeds to cover specific cases of liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies, abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery, assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private insurance and social security are all closely considered. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers with an interest in India. Academics and researchers will also welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to harmonization of the rules on tort.

Download or read book Fault Lines written by David M. Engel and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-24 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tort law, a fundamental building block of every legal system, features prominently in mass culture and political debates. As this pioneering anthology reveals, tort law is not simply a collection of legal rules and procedures, but a set of cultural responses to the broader problems of risk, injury, assignment of responsibility, compensation, valuation, and obligation. Examining tort law as a cultural phenomenon and a form of cultural practice, this work makes explicit comparisons of tort law across space and time, looking at the United States, Europe, and Asia in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. It draws on theories and methods from law, sociology, political science, and anthropology to offer a truly interdisciplinary, pathbreaking view. Ultimately, tort law, the authors show, nests within a larger web of relationships and shared discursive conventions that organize social life.

Excerpt: ... and was sitting close to one side of the carriage looking out. He got op, walked across to the other side of the carriage and put his hands upon the door, which at once sprang open. The left hand immediately lost its hold, but he graced the door with his right hand arm, and hung on to it whilst it was open. He was carried in this way some 300 yards or more, when seeing the pier o an arch over the line ahead of him, and fearful of coming in contact with it, he let go and endeavoured to throw himself across a bush below him; but, not having made allowance for the momentum of the train, missed the bosh and fell on the line. He was afterwards found on the ballast much injured. The Court gae judgment in his favour (Stoifts v. SaltonstaU, 13 Peters 181). Doctrine of identification or imputability: This doctrine was that where a person voluntarily engaged another person to carry him, he so identified himself with the carrier as to be precluded from suing a third part)' for negligence in cases where the carrier was guilty of contributory negligence. 1 The deceased must be considered as identified with the driver of the omnibus in which he voluntarily became a passenger, and the negligence of the driver was the negligence of the deceased.'1 These cases affirmed that, although if A is injured by the combined negligence of B and C, A can sue B and C, or either of them, he cannot sue C if he, A, is under the care of B, or in his employ. This doctrine has been expressly overruled in the case of The Bernitia?, in which it is laid down that where damage is sustained by the concurrent negligence of two or more persons, there is a right of action against all or any of them at plaintiffs option, and the exception of contributory negligence extends...

Download or read book Economic Analysis of Tort Law written by Malabika Pal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the negligence concept of tort law and studies the efficiency issue arising from the determination of negligence. It does so by scrutinizing actual court decisions from three common law jurisdictions – Britain, India and the United States of America. This volume fills a very significant gap, scrutinizing 52 landmark judgments from these three countries, by focussing on the negligent affliction of economic loss determined by common law courts and how these findings relate to the existing theoretical literature. By doing so, it examines the formalization of legal concepts in theory, primarily the question of negligence determination and liability, and their centrality in theories concerning tort law. This book will be very helpful for students, professors and practitioners of law, jurisprudence and legal theory. It will additionally be of use to researchers and academics interested in law and economics, procedure and legal history.

Download or read book English and Indian Law of Torts written by Ratanlal Ranchhoddas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English and Indian Law of Torts As there was no work, on the law of Torts, which contained a lucid exposition and a methodical arrangement both of the principles of the English Common law and of the Indian case-law, the writers of the present treatise conceived the idea of making an effort, to the best of their ability, towards supplying this long-felt desideratum. The generous reception accorded to the first edition and the demand made for more copies of it, during the last two years when the same was out of print, have induced them to prepare the second edition with the latest law of the subject carefully incorporated in it. During the five years which have elapsed since the publication of the first edition, there have been recorded in the reports numerous judicial decisions and dicta of great importance. It has, therefore, been found necessary to re-write some parts of the book in the fresh light of the recent law. A thorough threshing out of the old matter has also necessitated extensive alterations in the text, almost amounting to an entire recasting of the original compilation and particularly that portion of it which related to Indian law.
