About Tort Law
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
Negligence runs through much of the page. The mind maps Tort of Negligence and Negligence set out duty of care, breach, causation and remoteness of damage. Others look at the standard of care, factual causation, employers' liability and product liability. Beyond negligence you will find nuisance, trespass, privacy and defamation.
Where to start
Begin with a mind map for the overview. The Tort of Negligence map describes negligence as the most common actionable tort in Australia and gives civil remedies for injury or property damage. The Negligence map breaks the claim into elements, including negligent misstatement and economic loss.
- Read one overview map.
- Move to a focused map, such as Breach of Duty or Causation.
- Test yourself with flashcards such as Law 04 Flashcards, which ask you to explain duty, breach and damage.
- Finish with a quiz such as Torts Quiz or Tort Psychiatric Injury.
Using quizzes and maps together
Take a quiz first and note what you got wrong. Then open the map on that topic and trace the elements step by step. Come back to the quiz later to see what has stuck. The notes Law of Tort Summary (Pt 1) and Law of Tort Summary (Pt 2) add case names and explain primary victims and private nuisance.
Beyond negligence
The mind map Economic Harm and Dignitary Torts covers defamation, including the elements of a defamatory message. Flashcard decks on occupiers' liability, vicarious liability and professional negligence give quick recall practice. The Consumer Protection Act 1987 notes cover product liability.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Private Law strand of Law (general and introduction). Teachers can use the maps and quizzes as ready-made revision material, and everyone can pick a topic and start with one resource today.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start with Tort Law?
Start with a mind map such as Tort of Negligence or Negligence to see the elements of a claim laid out. Then try a flashcard deck on duty of care, and finish with a quiz such as Torts Quiz to check what you remember.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover negligence in detail, including duty of care, breach, causation and remoteness of damage. Others look at the standard of care, employers' liability, product liability, nuisance, trespass, privacy and defamation, so you can move from the core topic to the wider torts.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own maps and flashcards, a free account lets you do that.
Which levels and exams do they suit?
Most resources are aimed at university students and professional candidates, with a smaller share for school students. The listed resources mention LLB, A-level Law and GCSE Law, so check each resource's content against your own course.
Is there anything on defamation or occupiers' liability?
Yes. There are flashcard decks on defamation and constitutional defamation, a mind map called LA3 Defamation, and decks on occupiers' liability, including one on the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957 and another on the 1984 Act.
What if a topic I need is missing?
Browse the related mind maps and flashcards first, since many cover several topics at once. If you still cannot find it, you can build your own notes, quizzes or flashcards on the topic and share them with other learners.
