Which one of the following cases is related to the tort of negligence?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
"Municipal Corporation of Delhi v. Sushila Devi" (1999) is a leading authority on the tort of negligence, holding the Municipal Corporation liable for negligence when a branch of a dead roadside tree fell on a scooterist and caused his death. By contrast, "Ashby v. White" concerns injuria sine damno, "Hulton and Co. v. Jones" concerns defamation, and "Scott v. Shepherd" concerns directness of injury in trespass.
