Title: On not trespassing on trespass: In defence of separate torts of trespass to the person
Abstract: An article recently published in the Tort Law Review argues that separate torts of trespass to the person are no longer necessary, given the growth and development of the law of negligence. This article argues that there is a continuing role for trespass to the person, and that the interests protected by the tort of trespass are not adequately subsumed within negligence. This article agrees with the previously published views as to the historical development of the tort of trespass, but suggests that, whatever convergence is happening between the torts of trespass and negligence, there continue to be distinct elements of trespass unknown to negligence.
