All readings and weeks (1-13) are covered. The following topics are covered (which include every single topic, even those that do not have a dedicated lecture, or a dedicated tutorial): -What is tort? -Perspectives on tort law -Introduction to trespass and case -Battery -Assault -Action on the case for wilful injury -False imprisonment -Actions involving people -Nuisance -Trespass to land -Trespass to goods -Conversion -Detinue -Actions involving land -Actions involving good -Introduction to negligence -Introduction to duty of care -Duty of care -Duty of care: Established & novel categories -Pure economic loss -Pure mental harm -Standard of care -Statutory authorities -Factual causation -Scope of liability -Causation / Scope of liability -Particular duty areas -Vicarious liability, Non-delegable duties -Defences -Intoxication These notes allowed me to get a HD in this subject, and are extremely beneficial for both the assignment and the exam. I also present the information in an easy to understand format. You could realistically use these notes instead of the textbook, as they contain all relevant information you could ever need to perform well in LLB 240.
