Product Description

Product Description
Tort presents an accessible and current picture of the law of torts and is ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time. The text succinctly covers all the major concepts in the law of torts and clearly illustrates how they work in practice by reference to the major cases in this field and the main statutory provisions. The work goes through all the main areas including: negligence, causation and remoteness, employers liability, occupiers liability, liability for defective products, nuisance and the rule in Rylands v Fletcher, trespass, defamation, defences, and remedies. In addition, the third edition includes new chapters on economic torts and privacy. The work also considers the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 and all other key legislation on the law of torts, as well as evaluating recent reports by the Law Commission and recent case decisions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to the Law of Tort for all Beginners!, 20 April 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Tort (Textbook) (Paperback)
This is a very effective book for beginners of the subject, it gives aclear and concise introduction into the law of tort. If you are not abeginner and are looking for something a little more involved andacademic, I would not recommend it, however, for a first year law student(whether at university or college) this book is a perfect starting point.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for all law degree students, 4 Oct 2003
This review is from: Tort (Textbook) (Paperback)
This book contains more user-friendly and approachable text on the law of torts than other recommended books i.e, Tort Law by Lunney & Oliphant. Albeit not as detailed as the aforementioned book, it is a much easier read, particularly for students new to law, who are going straight in at degree level. My only criticism of this book is that it does not contain as much detail on judgments given in cases, whereas lunney & oliphant provide excellent case extracts to emphasise their learning text.

Another good buy is the blackstones study pack for tort law - but beware.... only buy this in addition to other text books if you are going to actually work through the self-assessment questions, otherwise spend your money on the larger, more complex textbooks as you will be rewarded with better detail and alternative viewpoints.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, 5 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Tort (Textbook) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book - it breaks down the core components of tort down into clear manageable sections, and explains difficult concepts clearly and simply. Extremely useful for students embarking on an LLB.
