How to answer Torts questions well
- Ingredients first: duty → breach → damage for negligence; for each nominate tort, its own essentials — state them before applying facts.
- Know the classic distinctions: tort vs crime vs breach of contract, and damages vs injunction — short questions live here.
- Vicarious liability: be ready to test employer–employee relationships in problem questions, step by step.
- Conclude with remedy: damages (general/special) or injunction — an answer without a remedy is incomplete.
