Description
Tort law is based almost entirely upon case law and a thorough understanding of the important cases is crucial for students of this subject. The case selection for this book has been based upon the standard cases, and the extracts provide the essence of the reasoning and the decision. Where applicable, extracts from statutes, as well as European legislation have also been included. This new edition includes key recent cases, particularly in the areas of statutory powers and privacy. The online resource centre includes student resources, such as updates and annotated web links.
