There are two elements to establishing causation in respect of tort claims, with the claimant required to demonstrate that: • the defendant's breach in fact resulted in the damage complained of (factual causation) and. • this damage should, as a matter of law, be recoverable from the defendant (legal causation)

However, the claimant's right is not a right exercisable against the defendant as it is not a property right (which is exercisable against the world).

Torts fall into three general categories: Intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); Negligent torts (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and. Strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products - see Products Liability).
