Legal Terms - Violation of legal obligations imposed by a statute.
A breach of a legal obligation imposed on an individual or organization by a statute. The individual or organization that has violated the legal obligation is
The individual may be subject to criminal penalties as prescribed by the statute. Additionally, they may be obligated to provide compensation to the damaged party if they are part of the group that the statute aims to protect. Not all legal obligations result in civil lawsuits for violation. If the Act does not explicitly address the issue, the courts are responsible for determining whether or not Parliament intended to grant civil remedies. Several instances of breaching statutory duty stem from legislation pertaining to workplace safety, as demonstrated in the case of Ziemniak v ETPM Deep Sea Ltd [2003] EWCA Civ 636, [2003] 2 All ER (Comm) 283.
