Browse Hierarchy LAW6167: Advanced Tort Law

Advanced Tort Law is an elective module, available to second year and final year LLB students (and visiting Erasmus students, as applicable). Advanced Tort Law provides a welcome opportunity to cover some of the main torts encountered in practice, viz: Trespasses to the Person; the Rule in Wilkinson v Downton; Privacy; Liability for Animals; Breach of Statutory Duty; the tort of Harassment; Public Nuisance; and the remedies of aggravated damages, exemplary damages, and restitutionary damages in Tort Law. The module will focus primarily on domestic UK jurisprudence, both case law and statutory. However, to provide greater depth, the module will also have regard, from time to time, to some comparative jurisprudence and to various law reform proposals.
