'Genuine question, what is "criminal"? [0:03] If a case goes before a court, is that not by definiation, "criminal"? I am no specialist (as I am sure my question demonstrates) but I'm not sure of the distinction being made here. Thanks for any help anyone is able to offer.
Peter: Now that you mentioned it, it would seem to me also (as a lay-person) that any form of wrongdoing against a person would/should be considered criminal. Eg, if someone's behaviour hurts, harms or causes distress to another person - then morally speaking, it is criminal. But for some reason the field of "law" is labyrinthian. They have different words/terms used for so many different situations and circumstances etc (ie, Criminal Law, Civil Law, Common Law, Law of Tort/s, BARD, and so on). I don't know whether all of this is actually necessary in deciding a case. I would think someone is either "guilty" or "innocent" and that the parties involved (plaintiff, defendant and witnesses) are telling the truth or not. So yep, it doesn't seem to make much sense. But nevertheless an intriguing subject.
Any interesting thoughts on how tort law comes into play at the 'less serious' end of trespass law in the UK? E.g. repeated tresspass on unworked agricultural land without damage or disturbance.
I want to say a massive thank you for all the fantastic law lectures you have uploaded. I just passed the Diploma of Legal Medicine without any prior legal knowledge thanks to you. You made such complex themes so easy to understand and memorable.
Thank you very much; it is very helpful. It would be more helpful though to let those who are not aware of the common law tradition, about which country you are talking. I understand that here you are speaking about English Law. Thanks for reading and for your time.
Hi this video is very helpful and i love the concept referring to the formula of tort law and was wondering if you have any references for this "formula" or whether this your own concept. Thanks
In "Back to the Future 1" Marty says to Doc , "hey Doc this is really heavy!" . This lecture might be short but, hey Marcus this is really heavy!, in its clarity. Thank you for this "coat hanger" on which to hang all the components on. Is it workable to do a similar lecture for criminal law? Cheers
Great thanks for all your replies I am really enjoying all your lectures. They are just what I need for my OU W201 . The OU have changed their system !
i've used this video as a refresher for my masters and Bar course. Thank you for making it so simple to understand
Thanks for all your videos, it has aided me in both years 1 and 2.
For some reason when you say something it makes sense.
The formula is woow! Appreciating law in Uganda
