FAQ

Tort law in Kenya encompasses a wide range of legal principles and rules that provide remedies to individuals who have suffered harm or injury due to the wrongful actions of others.

Four of them are personal: assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The other three are trespass to chattels, trespass to property, and conversion.

There are three states of mind which a student needs to be aware of in tort law. These are malice, intention and negligence. Where a tort does not require any of these it is said to be a tort of strict liability.

There are three types of torts, namely: (1) intentional torts, (2) negligence, and (3) strict liability. In intentional tort, the tortfeasor intended to cause harm to the person or property. Examples of this type of tort are assault, fraud, defamation, and invasion of privacy.

Torts fall into three general categories: Intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); Negligent torts (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and. Strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products - see Products Liability).

To win a tort case, there are 3 elements that must be established in a claim: The defendant had a legal duty to act in a certain way, The defendant breached this duty by failing to act appropriately, and. The plaintiff suffered injury or loss as a direct result of the defendant's breach.

Types of Intentional Torts Assault and battery. Assault and battery are often used interchangeably, but they are actually separate wrongful acts. False imprisonment. False imprisonment is the unlawful restraint of another person without their consent. Defamation. Trespass to land and chattels.

Identifying the Four Tort Elements The accused had a duty, in most personal injury cases, to act in a way that did not cause you to become injured. The accused committed a breach of that duty. An injury occurred to you. The breach of duty was the proximate cause of your injury.

There are two elements to establishing causation in respect of tort claims, with the claimant required to demonstrate that: • the defendant's breach in fact resulted in the damage complained of (factual causation) and. • this damage should, as a matter of law, be recoverable from the defendant (legal causation)

NEGLIGENCE: Negligence is the most common of tort cases. At its core negligence occurs when a tortfeasor, the person responsible for committing a wrong, is careless and therefore responsible for the harm this carelessness caused to another.
