Bush Standard Life

The Bush Standard Life refers to a legal principle established by the Supreme Court of Canada concerning the duty of care in tort law. It originated from a case in which a party was held accountable for damages caused by their negligent actions. The ruling clarified that individuals and entities owe a duty of care to others when their actions could foreseeably cause harm. This standard influences how liability is determined in personal injury and negligence cases, affecting the legal responsibilities of various professions and businesses in safeguarding against potential harm to others.
