cases: The "Derry" (1937), The "Dromon" (1979)

The "Derry" case (1937) addressed the issue of negligence in tort law, focusing on whether a defendant could be held liable for harm caused by their actions if they did not intend to cause harm and were unaware of any risk. The court concluded that liability requires a breach of duty owed to others. The "Dromon" case (1979) involved maritime law, where the court examined liability for damages caused by a ship collision. It emphasized the importance of establishing negligence in order to determine liability and allocate responsibility for damages in maritime incidents. Both cases shaped legal principles about negligence and liability.
