BREACH OF DUTY

1. Reasonable man as according to the eyes of law means like for instance negligence is the omission
to do something which a reasonable man would do, or doing something which a reasonable man
would not do.

-a breach of duty is determinable through the reasonable man test

The common question as accordance to this test is would a reasonable man have acted as the
defendant has done if the reasonable man was faced with the same circumstances as the defendant?

In deep, as for in the case of glaslow corporation v muir, it really explains the meaning of
reasonableness where as according to Lord Macmillan where the standard or foresight of the
reasonable man eliminates the personal equation and is independent if the idiosyncrasies of the
particular person whose conduct is in question
