The purpose of this Module is to acquaint students with the concepts of tort law via referral to Cypriot law (Chapter 148) and English and Cypriot jurisprudence. Pursuant to the law, the module separates civil offences related to the person, such as assault or illegal detention of a person, from civil offences related to property, such as misappropriation and illegal interference with property. Within the context of this module, special attention will be paid to the offence of nuisance. Following that, the central axis of this module’s study is negligence which will be examined through a historical, philosophical and economic approach. Finally, the module will be concluded by the study of the civil offence of defamation. Within the context of the teaching of these offences the mechanisms governing causation will also be developed, the means of defence and rules affecting the burden of proof, such as the presumptions of liability and strict liability.
