General law dog owners responsible – Part 1

Washington State “dog bite law” has dog owners liable only for damages caused by injury to the dogs. The words “may well” means the owner must, if the owner knew the dog’s dangerous tendencies, whether the owner had done something wrong. To establish strict liability law, you just have to answer on the basis of law.

But there is another basis for holding the owner liable for damages caused by the dog. Washington has a dog can also be held liable for damages under common law. In this section, I explain why “common law” means and how a dog can still be obliged to pay compensation even if the words “dog bite law” does not exist. What is a “general law”? the administration, the law generally created in two ways. The first way is when the decision to write songs, and then catch it. State level, this body of representatives called “legislature”. Washington State legislature creates a law called “rules”. Local or municipal level, the body is often called “The City” and it can make the law known as the “rules”. The county-level rules may be called “codes”. “Dog bites Treaty” is an example of the law created by the legislature in Washington state. The way the rules can be through the courts. It is also called “judge-made law”, or rather, “common law”. Essentially, the “common law” means a body of law that was created by the decisions or opinions of the judges. These decisions the judge made must follow and enforce the lower courts, often referred to as trial courts. Leading law judge act is often called a “precedent” that trial court to follow the decision and implement it in other cases with similar fact patterns. Only allow the courts to decide issues based on the laws narrow set of facts before it. The Court can not make laws based on current facts. This means that the common law can take years to develop. Therefore, the common law to do the job. Sometimes laws are inconsistent or seemingly contradictory, be achieved by two different courts, when the facts are almost identical or similar. Application of common law may be far less likely that the facts giving rise to the Act may be slightly different in the following cases. The existence of a new fact or omission of fact may lead to new a new exceptions or changes to the common law addressing that particular issue. It is important to understand that the state legislature can pass legislation rejecting or common-law changes in a particular subject. This can only happen if the laws of the legislature is found to be unconstitutional, he brought a question to the Court. Thus, for example, by passing “dog bite law,” Washington State legislature done in practice or to be added in the common law by creating a new cause of action, so long as the elements of the Act are met. Washington, there is a body of judge made law (or common-law) was created through years of responsible dog owners for injuries or damages caused by their dogs. “Common Law” responsible dog owners are described below.
