Law of Torts

The Doctrine of Vicarious liability can also be termed as the heart of the common law system of tort. Generally, in law, the rule is that a person is liable for the wrongful acts done by him and no one else would incur the liability for his actions.

General defences are those defences which are a set of defences or ‘excuses’ that undertake to escape liability in tort. But to not escape liability there must be action against the defendant for a particular tort and providing the existence of all the essential of that tort, the defendant would be liable for the same

It means spite or ill-will in the popular sense i.e. when an act is done with a bad intention is known as Malice. Hence an act or statement becomes malicious if used for purposes other than those sanctioned by the law authority.
