The system of tort law in Australia is broadly similar to that in other common law countries. However, some divergences in approach have occurred.This video races though an entire Australian undergraduate torts law course in the space of just two hours. This chapter is concerned with the torts of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intimidation. Closely allied with these is a further tortious action. A tort causes a person to suffer loss or harm. I expressed deep appreciation for his clear thinking about the categories and rules that make up the law of torts.
