Law Introductions

1. Robert successfully sued Marjorie in tort. Majorie has liability insurance. In this situation, Marjorie is considered the tortfeasor.

2. According to one old English case, Ethelred was entitled under the doctrine of blood feud to kill Halebert. If the same facts arose today, the Canadian legal system would deal with the situation through a combination of tort law and contract law.

3. A person generally is not entitled to act as a lawyer in Canada unless they have completed a "period of articles." That phrase refers to the fact that admission to the bar depends upon proof that a person went to law school for a certain length of time.

4. Jerome worked for Kerasic Corp. He left that job, however, when he received the promise of better pay from Goldshlager Inc. Goldshlager may be liable to Kerasic as long as, among other things, Goldshlager should have known that Jerome had a contract of employment with Kerasic.

5. Beta Inc has recently discovered that a defect in one of its products poses a risk of injury to consumers. Its only option, from a legal risk management perspective, is to eliminate the risk of liability by removing the product from the market.
