Introduction
Tort law plays a crucial role in the legal landscape, serving as a framework for addressing civil wrongs that result in harm or loss to individuals. It aims to provide remedies for victims, ensuring justice and accountability in society. Among the various types of torts, negligence stands out as a fundamental concept, as it deals with the failure to exercise reasonable care, leading to harm to others. The international landmark case of Donoghue v. Stevenson[1] established the “neighbour principle,” which asserts that individuals owe a duty of care to those who may be directly affected by their actions, laying the groundwork for negligence claims worldwide.
