Casebook on Tort is essential reading for students new to studying tort law at undergraduate level. It provides a selection of extracts from leading cases which clearly illustrate the essence and reasoning behind each decision made.

The 11th edition has been fully updated to include the following new case extracts:-

On Negligence:
Smith v Chief Constable of Sussex
Gray v Thames Trains

On Causation:
Corr v IBC
