The interaction between the Civil Liability Act 1936 (SA) and common law is considered in assessing the different stages of a negligence analysis. A representative range of other torts are also considered, and may include trespass to the person, nuisance, trespass to land, trespass to goods, and defamation. At least one intentional tort will be considered. Remedies and defences to these torts are also explored.
