What are the three general conditions for tortious liability under the ICSI Lesson 6 framework?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. The ICSI text identifies three conditions of tortious liability:
2. (i) **A wrongful act or omission of the defendant** — the act complained of must be legally wrongful as regards the party complaining; the defendant must have prejudicially affected a legally protected interest.
3. (ii) **The wrongful act must result in causing LEGAL DAMAGE to another** — there must be infringement of a legal right; without it, an action does not lie.
4. (iii) **The wrongful act must be of such a nature as to give rise to a LEGAL REMEDY** — chiefly an action for unliquidated damages, though injunction or specific restitution may also apply.
