Wait, so the defendant doesn't Casien need to intend to break the duty of care? That's like saying I can trip and fall on someone and still be liable. Crazy!

I'd say the answer is C too. Intentionally causing harm is not a requirement for negligence - the defendant just needs to have failed in their duty of care, regardless of their intentions.

Haha, this is like a legal version of 'Which one of these things is not like the other?' I'm gonna go with C, it seems the most out of place.

Hmm, I was thinking it might be D, since the defendant doesn't necessarily need to have caused actual damage, just that they breached their duty. But I could be wrong...

I think you're right, it's actually C that is not an essential element. The defendant doesn't need to have intended to cause harm, just that they breached their duty.

Well, this is a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the answer is C - the defendant doesn't need to have intended to cause harm, just that they breached their duty of care.

Yes, the defendant just needs to have breached their duty of care, they don't have to intend to cause harm.

But doesn't negligence require the defendant to have caused some damage to the claimant? That's why I think D is the correct answer.
