Document Summary

Pl ni re: duty of care rights or relationships. The most important difference between cml and cvl: In the common law but not in the cvl we have the concept of duty of care (show that there was a duty of care from the defendant to the plaintiff) No one is talking about duty of care in these cases (using other words) The story with the french conquering england (1066), william of. Normandy set up a court in london and because he was the king people would come to him asking for help. And the king would often resolve the disputes and so the king started to delegate this role to his entourage, his royal court = and this court made rulings and they recorded their decisions. This is how the cml developed and evolved. Jeremy bentham (1748-1832) english philosopher = his was a great rationalist and therefore did not like the cml.
