Details

The law of tort occupies a central position in defining the legal obligations between individuals not to cause each other harm or injury. For academics it is a crucial area of study and for practitioners it is an essential area of knowledge. Now in its second edition this title covers the general principles of tortious liability and a wide range of specific torts. It provides an accessible, comprehensive and authoritative account of the law as it is and how it is likely to develop. The new edition includes ground breaking cases such as Barker v Corus on causation, Viasystems on vicarious liability, and Jameel on defamation, plus a preliminary analysis of OBG v Allan in the area of economic torts. There is also full treatment of the Compensation Act 2006, and two wholly new chapters on Privacy and Deceit and Misrepresentation. An indispensable reference which will broaden the practitioner's understanding and knowledge of what is a fast-moving and complex area of law. The book is part of the Common Law menu which is supported by annual updates.
