MASSOLIT - Theory of Tort Law: Tort Theory (Video Lecture)

This is a curriculum-linked video lecture from MASSOLIT titled "Tort Theory" presented by Prof. Sandy Steel (University of Oxford) as part of the "Theory of Tort Law" course. The course examines central themes in tort law across six modules: leading theories of tort liability, the Caparo test for duty of care in negligence, duty of care in relation to pure economic loss, breach of duty, vicarious liability, and remedies including injunctions.

The specific module "Tort Theory" focuses on liability in tort, general principles for paying compensation, and competing theoretical accounts such as the efficiency account and the wrongdoing account. It also explores the nature of ‘‘wrong’’ within tort law and contrasts fault-based liability with strict liability approaches.

The content is described as high-quality and curriculum-linked for GCSE, A Level and IB students. The resource is offered as an educational video lecture intended for secondary school learners preparing for GCSE, A Level or the IB Diploma, and is produced and hosted by MASSOLIT.
