Practitioners frequently have to deal with claims concerning legitimate expectations, misstatement, mistakes or misconduct. Actions Against Public Officials is a comprehensive guide to this area of law dealing with all aspects of the liability of public officials for their advice, statements and representations. It focuses entirely on what legal consequences develop from what the authority has said or written and shows the full range of causes of action that might apply, setting out the case law and statutory material governing each area of law.

Dealing with all applicable modes of redress, both judicial and judicial-legal, this new title helps practitioners to identify which cause of action to rely on and explains the scope of the many privileges and immunities protecting public bodies from liability.
