Explanation

Ashby v. White (1703) established the maxim 'injuria sine damno' - injury without damage. Voters were denied their right to vote; even though no material loss was proved, the court held the violation of a legal right itself constituted injury. Donoghue v. Stevenson established negligence, Ryland v. Fletcher established strict liability.
