About this document
Impact of Human Rights on Torts in UK by Jatin Garg is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the relationship between torts and the UK Human Rights Act of 1998. It provides three key impacts: 1.

The Act may encourage judges to widen the categories of situations where one person owes a duty of care to another to prevent harm. 3. Cases like Osman v UK show the Act is already influencing the interpretation of positive obligations to safeguard people
