CONT

The unforeseeable plaintiff. The equivocation between the various elements of liability in general and of duty and legal cause in particular has already been noted. There is, undoubtedly a certain, but not necessarily complete, overlap between these concepts which, in the tort of negligence, can make it difficult to separate two apparently different questions: whether the defendant has breached a duty owed to the plaintiff and, secondly, if he has, whether a particular item of damage is recoverable.
