| Summary: | This chapter on the law of torts seeks to explain a topic that most law students find
very difficult to understand. It is written for the erudite student and, therefore,
explains those areas of formal logic that underpin the structure of the law of torts.
It covers the meanings of axioms, principles, theories, and many more, to see how
they contribute to the structure of torts. The chapter also covers the debates about
the fundamental bases of the law of tort. Put simply, a tort is a civil wrong; it is
non-contractual, with the term “tort” indicating a “twisted act”. While each tort
is structured like an argument, the idiosyncrasies of the historical development of
legal reasoning intervene, at the elemental and definitional levels of the structures,
to force us to understand the historiography of how torts actually developed. |
