Description

Presenting the law of tort as a body of principles, this authoritative textbook leads students to an incisive and clear understanding of the subject. Each tort is carefully structured and examined within a consistent analytical framework that guides students through its preconditions, elements, defences and remedies. Clear summaries and comparisons accompany the detailed exposition, and further support is provided by numerous diagrams and tables, which clarify complex aspects of the law. Critical discussion of legal judgments encourages students to develop strong analytical and case-reading skills, whilst key reform proposals and leading cases from other jurisdictions illustrate different potential solutions to conundrums in tort law. A rich companion website, featuring ten additional chapters and sections on more advanced areas of tort law, completes the learning package. Written specifically for students, the text is also ideal for practitioners, litigants, policymakers and law reformers seeking a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the law.

Media Reviews

'[This book] provides a clear, detailed and challenging account of the law of tort ... The work is a most welcome contribution to the field, and one that will be of great benefit to students, practitioners, academics and judges. I cannot commend it highly enough.' The Right Honourable Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls and Head of Civil Justice
'This book achieves what few textbooks do: it combines a deep and nuanced understanding of tort as a body of principle with a patient, detailed and accessible account of the case-law.' Emmanuel Voyiakis, The London School of Economics and Political Science
'Students will benefit from the clear structure of this excellent textbook, in which the details of the single torts are examined in the context of the general principles of tort law. This method enables those who approach this subject for the first time to follow the in-depth analysis without losing the overview.' Francesco Giglio, University of Manchester
