hey. Im finding the revision hard going too. Tort... remember that you should look at the 5 main areas when you answer a problem question... duty, breach, causation, remoteness, and damages.

If i were you, id split it into those areas and try to learn the main principles and the main cases, then if you can manage it, learn more around it. that's what ive done anyway... going on what the lecturer said, so i hope that helps.

If it's any help, I found duty of care, occupiers liability, contriburtory negligence and nervous shock to be interesting areas to study

Oh, how did that go Dreama? Are you all done now?

My tort exam was pretty horrible tbh. I counted on defamation popping up. It didn't. I also avoided 2 minitopics - economic loss and vicarious liability. Both cropped up in three questions :| How gay is that?

Argh I've got mine tomorrow (well later on today seeing as it's passed midnight) and I'm full panic. Can't remember any case name other than donoghue v stevenson, anns v merton and the wagon mound. It's not possible to learn all of this!
