According to “TortLaw.org” (2013), “The law generally defines negligence as failing to exercise the same type of care as a reasonable person would in similar circumstances” (The Law of Tort Negligence). Negligence tort law allows an injured party to seek civil recovery from the party that caused the injury due to negligence. Not all injuries are the result of negligence, therefore a plaintiff must prove the five elements of negligence, which are duty, breach of duty, cause in fact, proximate (legal) cause, and actual damages (Melvin, 2011). Duty Duty refers to the general legal obligation that one party owes to another other party to prevent an increased risk or cause injury. This legal duty must be proven by
A defendant is liable for negligence when the defendant breaches the duty that the defendant owes to the plaintiff. A defendant breaches such a duty by failing to exercise reasonable care in fulfilling the duty. Unlike the question of whether a duty exists, the issue of whether a defendant breached a duty of care is decided by a jury as a question of fact. Under the traditional rules in negligence cases, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant's actions actually caused the plaintiff's injury. This is often referred to as "but-for" causation.
July 28, 2012 The Legal Environment You Decide Submitted by Sabrina Beckham The dispute that we are deciding is whether the operator of a Bistro should be charged with copyright infringement. Johnny Singstealer has inherited the rights to the happy birthday song and is the current copyright holder. He has recently been made aware that the song is being sung by a local restaurant owner and has been being sung regularly for the last twenty years without paying him any licensing fees. He is suing for one million dollars in damages for the past singing and is also requesting an injunction against any further singing of the song until a licensing agreement is in place. Bobby Bandleader is the restaurant operator being sued and he claims that he has not broken any copyright infringement laws since this song is sung by everyone not just him.

Firstly, in contract law, the claimant has to prove that the defendant is at fault on a balance of probabilities. It can be argued that fault based liability is a fundamental principal in English law when breach of contract by one party occurs. Breach of contact can be either actual or anticipatory; an actual breach is when the contract is performed differently, defectively or not at all. The loss caused can be minor or serious and this is determined by the type of the term which has been broken. A breach of condition for example, gives the right to the injured party to terminate the contact or affirm it and in both cases claim damages.
