Book Description

Excerpt from The Law of Torts: A Concise Treatise on Civil Liability at Common Law and Under Modern Statutes for Actionable Wrongs to Person and Property The order, in which particular torts have been dealt with, is quite different from that observed by many modern writers. It is not made to depend upon the motive, intent, or state of mind of the wrong-deer, but upon the sort of harm inflicted. Those torts, which are directed principally against the person of the victim, are first considered: then, those which are aimed at his property; and, lastly, those which are clear invasions of both the personal and the property rights of another.
