English

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

In distinguishing between the ordinary and natural meaning and the innuendo meaning of words, the substantive law cannot be separated from the requirements of pleading and the rules of evidence. If it is contented that words are defamatory in their ordinary and natural meaning, it is not necessary for the plaintiff to plead more than the words themselves.... If, however, the plaintiff wishes to rely on any special facts as giving the words a defamatory or any particular defamatory meaning, he must plead and prove such facts, including, where necessary, any special knowledge possessed by those to whom the words were published which gives the words that meaning, and must set out the meaning in his pleading.... the meaning resulting from those facts gives rise to a cause of action separate from that arising from the words in their ordinary and natural meaning. Such an extended meaning is described as a "true" or "legal" innuendo.

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

A legal principle that actual intent will be presumed when an act leading to the result could have been reasonably expected to cause that result.

CONT

Constructive intention. Conduct may be treated as intentional even though its results are not actually desired, if the consequences are known to be substantially certain to follow.... In these circumstances it is sometimes said that the intention is "constructive", or that it has been "imputed" to the defendant. In other words, the conduct is treated as though it were intentional, while strictly it is not, because the law will not tolerate anyone being dealt with less leniently on such facts.

French

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

L'intention par interprétation. Un acte peut être considéré comme intentionnel s'il est virtuellement certain que les conséquences de l'acte se produiront, malgré qu'elles n'aient pas en fait été voulues. [...] Dans ces cas, on dit parfois que l'intention a été «imputée» au défendeur. En d'autres termes, ces actes sont considérés comme intentionnels même s'ils ne l'ont pas été en fait, parce que le droit n'accepte pas que l'on traite avec plus d'indulgence l'auteur de pareils actes.

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.
