| Summary |
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, to incorporate the recent 'tort reform' legislation which affects both liability in tort and the amount of damages recoverable. The book deals principally with the tort of negligence, and also covers breach of statutory duty, nuisance and intentional tort. It includes an entirely new set of tutorial problems and suggested answers designed to be used either independently by students or as the basis for tutorial discussion |
