From the Back Cover
Cases and Commentary on Tort 4e
Cases and Commentary on Tort brings together a selection of cases both old and new, linked by commentary and cross-references, that illustrate the basic principles of tort. It is best used as a companion to a suitable textbook on tort, and provides a portable reference to key sources. The increasing availability of a vast range of easily accessible electronic sources of both case and statute law may sometimes prove confusing, and this book provides a firm platform from which to explore both paper and electronic sources.
This fourth edition includes the expected crop of new cases in a number of areas. The principal areas of development are- the operation of policy in relation to the existence of a duty of care in negligence - a field in which human rights law is increasingly relevant; negligently induced psychiatric damage; private nuisance; and defamation - also an area increasingly influenced by human rights issues. Some of the new cases are useful in illustrating basic principles, while others develop or extend such principles.
The book is designed for ease of use by students and is aimed at those taking LLB, combined law degrees, Diploma and CPE, ILEX and External LLB courses.
Barbara Harvey, LLB, LLM, is a Senior Lecturer and John Marston, LLB, Solicitor, is a Principal Lecturer, at the School of Law, De Montfort University, Leicester and is a Part-Time Chairman in the Appeals Service.
