  • principles of liability;
  • liability for breach of duty;
  • defences available; and
  • damages and other remedies.
New developments incorporated in the Third Edition include:

  • a significantly increased number of superior court decisions concerning provisions of the civil liability Acts, relevant to professional liability claims;
  • the impact of proportionate liability schemes on professional liability claims;
  • the introduction of the Legal Profession Uniform Law;

  • the introduction of the Australian Consumer Law;
