Description
This addition to the "Clarendon Law Series" offers a clear exposition of the modern law of tort and addresses all heads of the subject. It provides both a succinct and thoughtful overview for those coming to Tort for the first time and also pulls together themes and raises thought-provoking insights and synergies for those reading it after completing the course. Tony Weir presents both in-depth discussion and thorough analysis of recent cases and trends, notably in areas such as: liability of public authorities for child abuse; impact of the Human Rights Act; privacy; and liability of police.
