March 16, 2017 'It is a myth that Tort is anything to do with individual responsibility': CULS Debate
On 14 March 2017, CULS hosted a debate on the proposition "It is a myth that Tort is anything to do with individual responsibility", which featured Dr Janet O'Sullivan (Cambridge University), Professor Donal Nolan (Oxford University), Professor Robert Stevens (Oxford University) and Professor Steve Hedley (York University).
This debate is highly relevant for anyone studying Tort law as this is a topical issue. As a key area of English law though, it should also be interesting and exciting for anyone studying Law.
