Lady Dr. NAFEESA SALEEM VS JUSTICE OF PEACE/ADDITIONAL SESSIONS JUDGE, MULTAN Negligence, concept of---Negligence as a tort was the breach of a duty caused by omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided by such considerations which ordinarily regulated conduct of human affairs would do, or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do---Actionable negligence consists in neglect of the use of ordinary care or skill towards a person to whom a defendant owed duty of observing ordinary care and skill, by which neglect plaintiff had suffered injury to his person or property---Three constituents of negligence were, one a legal duty to exercise due care on the part of the party complained of towards the party complaining the former's conduct within the scope of the duty; and second, the breach of the said duty; and thirdly, consequential damage---Cause of action for negligence arose only when damage occurred because such damage was a necessary ingredient of such tort.
