Res Ipsa Loquitur;

 




Res ipsa loquitur is the Latin maxim meaning the thing speaks for itself. The maxim applies whenever it is so improbable that such an accident would have happened without negligence of the defendant that a reasonable court could find without further evidence that is was so caused. The maxim throws on the defendant the burden to disapprove his negligence. See Swam vs. Salisbury Construction Co. [1968] 1 WLR 204
