“The fact is that, true to form, the common law wants to have the best of both worlds. It develops and applies
principles as far as it can in order to introduce predictability and logical cohesion into the law, but it accepts that,
with the infinite variety of human experiences, and with developments in the social, economic, ethical and
technological spheres, hardly any principles can be applied blindly and most principles will have to be subject to
exceptions, to changes or even to discarding at various stages of their existence.” -Lord Neuberger (2016)
– Critically discuss the above statement, substantiating and illustrating your response by drawing from any one
area of tort law.
– The quote can be found in the Lecture:
*Some Thoughts on Principles Governing the Law of Torts
Singapore Conference on Protecting Business and Economic Interests: Contemporary Issues in Tort Law,
Distinguished, Guest Speaker Lecture, Lord Neuberger, 19 August 2016* ( I will upload it). The quote is in
paragraph n 49.
– Every paragraph has to have referencing. All references have to be academic. I will upload a list of essential
readings, recommended readings and further readings.
Meaning that essential readings have to be referenced in the essay. Please, once again, I want OSCOLA
referencing (footnotes and Bibliography).
– To support the arguments it has to be used cases, statutes, Legislations, etc. Any questions please ask. I am
waiting for a good mark for this essay. and that the referencing number doesn’t matter as long the essay has
enough supporting Cases, legislation, Status, etc.
