Description
The law of tort is of great importance in regulating the civil conduct of people in personal and business relations. It can be relevant in everyday affairs such as rights and duties in relation to land, including trespass and pollution escape, product liability, negligence and the liability of drivers to other road users. This 5th edition examines all topics typically included in tort courses and deals with both the general concepts of tort and the specific torts such as nuisance, defamation and economic torts. The author has included detailed coverage of recent case law including the substantial changes to the area of duty of care with the overruling of "Anns" by "Murphy v. Brentwood DC". There is also detailed coverage of the House of Lords case of "Caparo Inds. v. Dickman".
