GRANT DUTY [6 records]

Record 1 2017-04-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

Both the negligent manufacturer and the negligent intervenor are now usually held jointly liable. In Grant v. Sun Shipping, the negligent omission of an intermediary to inspect the work of the defendant did not dissolve the latter's duty to the plaintiff; rather, both were held responsible as concurrent tortfeasors.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

L'on tient maintenant responsables tant le fabricant que le tiers intervenant négligents. Dans l'affaire Grant v. Shipping, le défaut par un intermédiaire négligent d'inspecter le travail de la défenderesse n'a pas eu pour effet d'écarter le devoir de celle-ci envers le demandeur; les deux ont plutôt été responsables à titre d'auteurs communs du délit.

Record 4 2012-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The basis of prescription is that if long enjoyment of a right is shown, the court will strive to uphold the right by presuming that it had a lawful origin. Thus the court may presume, on proof of the fact of long enjoyment that there once was an actual grant of the right, even though it is impossible to produce any direct evidence of such a grant. It is then "the habit, and in my view the duty, of the court, so far as it lawfully can, to clothe the fact with right". "The court is endowed with a great power of imagination for the purpose of supporting ancient user. "(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 841).
