It certainly is. The concept of negligence was reinvented or reintroduced into the Common Law starting in 1932 with Donoghue v Stevenson and the lawyers have been wrestling with it ever since. I hated Torts as a student, it's a damn fiddly area of law. Give me Trusts any day of the week.
Still: if you want to study how intelligent people have mapped out the concept of "reasonably foreseeable", then lawyers -- particularly Scots lawyers who also look to Roman law -- are the people to talk to for inspiration.
