Layman's Guide to Irish Law Teresa Clyne

This Introduction to Irish law book is a handy little number, it is compiled so that the most difficult and challenging terminology, rules and principles are explained, leaving you to enjoy learning about the law in Ireland without the headache of first learning terminology and confounding principles. Torts are wrongdoings; done by one person against another. When one person wrongs another, the injured person may take civil action against the other person. In plain English, let's say while walking down the fruit and veg aisle of your local supermarket, you slip on a grape that had fallen from the shelf and injure yourself. You become the plaintiff, or injured party, and the supermarket is considered the tortfeasor or defendant, they are defined as the negligent party. When this happens you can take civil action against the supermarket to claim compensation for pain, suffering, medical bills and expenses incurred as a result of the fall. Negligence is just one tort category. This book will go through all of the different types. These books are written "as is", they are compiled for a novice, in basic introductory or note form with a breakdown of each subject, the language is casual and conversational, similar to how you would chat to your friends over lunch on the subject, with some truncated sentences, bullet style explanations and paragraphs, there are truncated case synopsis with occasional ellipses. Paragraph headers include examples and explanations with real life scenarios; for that reason, these books are not academic textbooks, merely informational.
