This unit will equip learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the principles governing the law of tort. The unit aims to enable leaners to understand the foundations of tortious liability, remedies and defences. It further aims to enable learners to apply rules governing a variety of specific torts to fact-based scenarios and to identify and resolve issues that claimants and defendants may face. Learners will explore how tort interrelates with criminal law and how social and political decisions impact on the understanding of negligence.
