Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.

1.What is the purpose of Law of Torts and what does it seek to protect?[2]
Answer
The purpose of the law of torts is to determine when a loss caused by one person to another shall be shifted from the person who suffered it to the person who caused it, and to provide the injured party with compensation for the invasion of his rights.
It seeks to protect a defined set of interests recognised as legal rights:
- Personal interests: bodily safety and health (negligence, battery), freedom of movement (false imprisonment), and freedom from apprehension of harm (assault);
- Interests in property: possession and enjoyment of land (trespass, nuisance) and of goods (trespass to goods, detinue, conversion);
- Interests in reputation (defamation); and
- Economic interests (deceit, injurious falsehood, inducing breach of contract, passing off).
