Class 3 I Wrongs to specific property: trespass, conversion, distur- bance of easements, and the like. Wrongs to other exclusive rights in the nature of property (patent, copyright, trade mark under statutes). Wrongs to estate in larger sense: deceit; slander of title; fraudulent competition; nuisance [here, and not under , inasmuch as nuisance is not an invasion of property or possession itself, but inter- ference with the use and enjoyment only]. B Wrongs to person, property, and estate, all or any of them: negli- gence; breach of special duties attached to control of buildings, etc, and (in stricter degree) to keeping or dealing with dangerous things. Liabilities in tort may also be divided, from the defendants point ol view, into those which arise from a wilful act (this is by no means the same as a consciously wrongful act) such as trespass, or the omission of I positive duty ; those which arise from want of due care and caution in the doing of something not unlawful in itself by the defendant, or by a pe] for whose acts he is answerable; and those which are imposed, irrespective of any particular act or default of the defendant or his servants, by some special rule of law. prev next |
