Details

The late Professor John Fleming’s The Law of Torts by was distinguished throughout the world of tort scholarship as a work of enormous significance. It returned under esteemed new authorship in 2011 to renew the work’s place in the tort law discourse nd, now, the 11th Edition offers a comprehensive update of this classic law book.

Major new developments in the 11th Edition include:

Statutes - The expanding role of Civil Liability legislation and other statutes in the law of tort Property - Notions of property have evolved and expanded, with the emergence of blockchain technology and NFTs
Intentional Torts - Major cases on the intentional torts, including Lewis v Australian Capital Territory
Consent - Major developments in the legal conception of consent under various statutory regimes
Vicarious Liability - Many significant decisions on vicarious liability across the common law world
COVID-19 - Pandemic conditions and the rising gig economy challenging the orthodoxy around liability of employers and given rise to new questions in respect of the protection of personal privacy
Climate change - The proliferation of fresh challenges in the law of negligence and nuisance, such as Sharma v Minister for the Environment
Tort in digital contexts - Major developments in respect of tortious liability for acts in digital space, such as Fairfax v Voller

The core strength of Fleming’s The Law of Torts 11th Edition is its examination of legal principle. It distills the essence of tort legal principles and critically evaluates them.

Professor Fleming had an unflinching belief that no legal system is superior to any other and he combed the corners of the common law and civil law world in the search for answers. The 11th Edition continues his breadth of vision.

The authors both preserve Professor Fleming’s scholarship while contributing their own highly-respected insights. The result is an outstanding, must-have resource for all practitioners and scholars of tort law within the common law jurisdictions.
