Question

"In the long run, every man will pay the penalty for his own misdeeds" - Epictetus. Explain this statement in context to the poem 'Fire and Ice' IN 300 WORDS (please answer in 300 words, I will mark you brainliest)

Answer 1

Answer:

The neighbour-principle in law of torts was laid down in the landmark case of Donoghue v Stevenson. The decision stated that a person needs to take reasonable care to avoid any actor omission that he reasonably foresees to result in injury to neighbour.

A neighbour in this case is supposed to be a class of people whom the performer of the act must keep within reasonable contemplation to be directly affected by his negligent acts. The principle does not however allow unrestricted claims and ones in close proximity of being affected are only entitled to file a suit for negligence.
