This is a core course in the Juris Doctor program. It is approved by the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board (Qld) and the Chief Justice of Queensland as meeting the torts area of knowledge under the Supreme Court (Admission) Rules 2004 (Qld) and therefore deals with elements of torts, specifically: negligence, including defences; a representative range of torts (other than negligence) and their defences; damages; concurrent liability; and compensation schemes.

This course concerns the law of torts which sets the standards of behaviour between members of society. Students will study negligence and a representative range of torts, with consideration of defences and damages, and of alternative methods of providing compensation for accidental injury. Examples include: concurrent liability, trespass, defamation, nuisance, and compensation schemes.

2. identify and articulate complex legal issues [relevant to torts]; [comprehend legal and other materials]; apply legal reasoning and research to generate appropriate jurisprudential and practical responses to legal issues; and engage in critical analysis and make reasoned and appropriate choices amongst alternatives (PO3/TLO3);
3. communicate in ways that are effective, appropriate and persuasive for legal and non-legal audiences (PO5/TLO5);
4. explain the legislative process and identify applicable legislation and delegated legislation, general principles of statutory interpretation, understand and make appropriate use of authorised aids to statutory interpretation, and deploy appropriate techniques in the course of solving interpretative problems [including problems raising special interpretative issues (elements of fault and intention); and give a reasoned opinion as to the appropriate meaning of a legislative provision, and as to the correct application of the provision to a given set of facts] (PO7).
