who fail to fulfil their obligations, allowing aggrieved parties to seek
damages or specific performance through courts. The Contract Law
underpins virtually all commercial transactions, which facilitates economic
activity and fosters trust and confidence in transactions.

bargains etc.) Contracts are not limited to commercial transactions but also

agreements, custody agreements etc.)

ESA 60 Marks
Course The Law of Torts is an uncodified law containing principles that have evolved
Description from judicial decisions by courts in England. Tort law instructs us on how we
should conduct ourselves in our interactions with one another. It provides
insights as to how our wrongful actions or omissions against another person
can make us liable in tort. Wrongs such as trespass, assault, defamation,
negligence, and nuisance are examples of some torts. Tort law, being a civil law,
allows the person who is wronged to seek redress in the court of law for
damages or compensation, injunction, or the specific restitution of property.
The law also provides relief in case of mass torts or industrial torts, which are
increasingly emerging due to rapid industrialization. Even where a person is not
at fault, liability in tort may still arise under the principle of no-fault liability.
The course also covers aspects of consumer protection law and motor vehicle
accident claims.
Objectives: 1. Understand fundamental principles of tort law, including duty of care,
breach, causation, and damages.
2. Analyze legal doctrines and precedents related to negligence, intentional
torts, strict liability, and defenses.
3. Apply legal principles to hypothetical scenarios and real-world cases and
Develop analytical and problem-solving skills in tort law contexts.
4. Evaluate policy considerations and societal implications of tort law
decisions.
