Torts Exam Hypo Notes - Full Negligence Hypo Structure

Description

These are the notes I used in my exam, which detail a step by step hypo for you to complete for a negligence tort analysis. They include all the relevant provisions from the Wrongs Act, and are easy to use in an exam!! Steps include: - Duty of care [existing duty, novel duty, special duty] - Duty scope [acts/omissions/kind of harm] - Breach [RF + negligence calculus] - Causation [factual causation, remoteness + NIAs] - Partial defence [contributory negligence] - Complete defence [voluntary assumption of risk] - Vicarious liability
