Constructive Notice
Negligence means carelessness. It is the omission to do something which a reasonable man guided
by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct human affairs. Mere negligence or
carelessness in taking notice of fact is not gross negligence . But if the negligence is so grave or
gross that a man of common prudence can never be expected to do, the negligence is gross. It is
carelessness of grave nature but without any malafide or bad motive.
