Well, it’s more that the clarifications you get now are not ground-shaking. Many torts have been around for hundreds of years now, so they’re pretty settled. Negligence was 1932, so every now and then someone finds a new duty of care. I guess defamation still gets some airtime in some jurisdictions.
Why is that? e.g. how long ago were the important torts cases, did the law or environment change?
