NCA Torts case studies

The NCA Torts exam is one component of the assessment process run by the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. The NCA assesses the legal education and professional experience of individuals who obtained their credentials outside Canada or in a Canadian civil law program, and it applies one standard of evaluation across the country. Candidates assigned Torts are examined on the Canadian common law of torts, and this page groups the material into six study areas: the duty and standard of care in negligence; causation, remoteness and defences; negligent misrepresentation and pure economic loss; occupiers' and employers' liability; intentional torts and defences; and strict liability, nuisance and remedies. Preparation should start from the official exam outline and sample materials published by the NCA, which define the scope of the assignment. The NCA Torts case studies are 5 cases and about 4,111 words.
