Update: 2024-10-21
Description
In this episode, we explore the legal principles surrounding concurrent wrongdoers under the Civil Liability Act 1961 in Ireland. We’ll examine the key concepts, including the plaintiff’s right to full compensation, the right of concurrent wrongdoers to fair contributions, and the importance of litigating all relevant matters in a single action. We’ll define "concurrent wrongdoers" and discuss scenarios involving vicarious liability, breaches of joint duty, and independent actions causing the same damage. Using key cases like Hussey v Dillon and Moloney v Liddy, we’ll explore issues of causation, joint liability, and the apportionment of blame. Tune in for a detailed analysis of this complex area of Irish tort law!
