ABSTRACT
Tort is a subject that is not only fascinating but of great practical importance. It affects you, to provide just a few examples, as a consumer of manufactured goods; as a patient requiring medical services; as a student in a school, college or university; as a passenger in vehicles; and as an employee in the workplace. In these situations the law of tort provides you with rights. However, there may also be situations in which you owe duties under the law of tort. If you take responsibility for the safety of others, for example, then you will owe such duties.
