About Tort Law: General Principles
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The unit brings together the building blocks of tort law. Negligence is the largest thread, with mind maps such as Duty of Care and Breach of Duty of Care, the Negligence Flow Chart and the Donoghue v. Stevenson (1932) map. Alongside it sit causation, remoteness, damages, vicarious liability and employers' liability.
There is also material on land and property torts: Occupiers Liability, private nuisance and Rylands v Fletcher. Defamation, economic loss, psychiatric injury and wrongful interference with chattels are covered too.
Where to start
- Begin with the flashcard deck Trespass to the person for intentional torts, or the notes called Torts. for a prima facie case overview.
- Move to negligence: open the Law of Tort - General Negligence mind map, which sets out duty, breach and damage.
- Add causation with the Tort - Causation flashcards, which ask about factual and legal causation and the 'but for' test.
- Finish with land-based torts and vicarious liability.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see how a topic fits together. Then take a quiz, such as the Vicarious Liability quiz, Negligence Quiz or Causation and Remoteness, to see what you actually remember. Return to the map for any gap, and use flashcards for case names and tests.
The resources come from many courses, so you will see exams such as the NY bar exam and the SQE mentioned. Check that the wording matches your own jurisdiction before relying on it.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Tort and Delict strand within Civil law. It works as the general-principles starting point for that strand.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
For intentional torts, start with the Trespass to the person flashcard deck. For negligence, the Law of Tort - General Negligence mind map explains duty, breach and damage in one place. Then test yourself with the Negligence Quiz before moving on to causation and remoteness.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 460 mind maps. They cover negligence, duty of care, breach, causation, occupiers' liability, nuisance, Rylands v Fletcher, vicarious liability, defamation, economic loss and psychiatric injury. Some are case-based, such as the Donoghue v. Stevenson (1932) map.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 480 contributors have added quizzes, notes, maps and flashcards, so styles and depth vary. It is worth comparing a couple of resources on the same topic.
Which exams and levels do they suit?
Most resources are aimed at university study, with some for professional candidates. Some mention the NY bar exam or the SQE. Because jurisdictions differ, check each resource against your own syllabus or course materials.
What if I cannot find my topic?
Try a related title first, since topics overlap, for example causation sits inside negligence resources. If a gap remains, make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes and use them for revision.
