CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE IN TORT
Keywords:
English custom, carelessness, custom-based lawAbstract
It is as of now realized that the Indian law of torts depends on the English custom-based law. In this manner, the law identifying with carelessness is embraced and changed by the courts of India on the standards of equity, value and great still, small voice. The term Negligence is gotten from the Latin word negligentia, which signifies 'neglecting to get'. In the general sense, the term carelessness implies the demonstration of being imprudent and in the lawful sense, it means the inability to practice a standard of consideration which the practitioner as a sensible man ought to have practiced in a specific circumstance. Carelessness in English law developed as a free reason for activity just in the eighteenth century. Essentially in Indian law, the IPC, 1860 contained no arrangement for causing the demise of an individual by carelessness which was accordingly altered in the year 1870 by embeddings area 304A.
