BE BREACH DUTY [19 fiches]

Anglais

  • Tort Law (common law)

CONT

Doctrine of "mitigation of damages"... imposes on party injured by breach of contract or tort duty to exercise reasonable diligence and ordinary care in attempting to minimize his damages, or avoid aggravating the injury, after breach or injury has been inflicted and care and diligence required of him is the same as that which would be used by man of ordinary prudence under like circumstances.

Fiche 2 2016-07-22

Anglais

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

A composite liability was imposed in a recent case on an organization for the acts of several servants, none of whom individually could be proved culpable. The defendant's buyer made a misrepresentation in reliance on information supplied to him by the accountant based on inadequate data. The latter was not liable because he had made no representation to the plaintiff, nor was the former because he was not negligent in passing it on. Yet their firm was held responsible, not vicariously, but presumably for breach of its personal duty of care.

Anglais

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

Such damage, loss or injury as does not flow directly and immediately from the act of the party, but only from some of the consequences or results of such act.

CONT

Damage may be direct, i. e. caused immediately by the conduct done in breach of duty, e. g. injury to a person in an accident, or indirect, or consequential, when it results from the conduct only after the intervention of other factors, e. g. pecuniary loss resulting from a vehicle being damaged. Whether and, if so, to what extent a person in breach of duty is legally liable to another to whom his breach has caused indirect or consequential damage raises the problem of remoteness of damage.

The Ontario Court of Appeal appears to have adopted a professional medical standard, not only for determining what are the material risks that should be disclosed but also, and concurrently, for determining whether there has been a breach of the duty of disclosure.... To allow expert medical evidence to determine what risks are material and, hence, should be disclosed and, correlatively, what risks are not material is to hand over to the medical profession the entire question of the scope of the duty of disclosure, including the question whether there has been a breach of that duty.

CONT

Since liability rests only in negligence, in a failure to disclose material risks, the issue of causation would be in the patient's hands on a subjective test, and would, if his evidence was accepted, result inevitably in liability unless, of course, there was a finding that there was no breach of the duty of disclosure

CONT

The principal issue considered by the Court of Appeal was whether the loss suffered by the patient was caused by the failure of disclosure by the doctor, or whether it would have occurred even if there had been full and proper disclosure.

DEF

conforming to recognized principles or accepted rules and standards.

CONT

... State responsibility is governed by international standards..., and it depends on international law whether and to what extent the act or omission of a particular State is deemed legitimate or wrongful. Where the acts or omissions of a State measured by such standards are held to be legitimate, State responsibility does not arise. For example, as all States are generally conceded to have complete power to refuse to admit aliens into their territory, the States of which the aliens are nationals have no claim against any State which has refused ingress. Similarly, where international law concedes jurisdiction to a State which proceeds to exercise it, there is no breach of duty for which that State is responsible.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • International Public Law
CONT

Satisfaction may be defined as any measure which the author of a breach of duty is bound to take under customary law or under an agreement by the parties to a dispute, a part from restitution or compensation. Satisfaction is an aspect of reparation in the broad sense. However, it is not easy to distinguish between pecuniary satisfaction and compensation in the case of breaches of duty not resulting in death, personal injuries, or damage to or loss of property. Claims of this sort are commonly expressed as a claim for an "indemnity". If there is a distinction, it would seem to be in the intention behind the demand. If it is predominantly that of seeking a token of regret and acknowledgment of wrongdoing then it is a matter of satisfaction. The objects of satisfaction are three, which are often cumulative; apologies or other acknowledgment of wrongdoing by means of a salute to the flag or payment of an indemnity; the punishment of the individuals concerned; and the taking of measures to prevent a recurrence of the harm.
