| Summary |
This book covers the various aspects of trespass, negligence, nuisance, torts of strict liability, defamation, and the economic torts which protect against the intentional infringement of a trade or business. It also includes discussion of vicarious liability; the remedies available to a plaintiff; the circumstances in which these remedies may be extinguished; and the parties to an action. The work is not confined to the traditional, common law rules of tort, but also considers the meaning and effect of the statutory proscriptions of misleading and deceptive conduct which have replaced some of the judge-made principles |
