Tort Law Principles 2nd edition provides a concise overview of the key concepts and principles of the law of tort. Significant commentary together with supporting cases, problem and tutorial questions, flow charts and tables, all assist the student to further their understanding and assess their knowledge.
This edition sees a revision of all chapters to bring them up to date. We are now able to provide more practical illustration and explanation of the application of the Civil Liability Acts. The significance of the different wording in each jurisdiction is now becoming more apparent thanks to wider judicial activity, where relevant these are discussed.
There has been some significant judicial engagement with some key tortious principles including in pure economic loss, mental harm, trespass to the person, trespass to goods and defamation. There is an increasing recognition of a unique Australian law of torts and we have stronger Australian authorities to refer to. All chapters now have appropriately updated references and have been revised for readability and accessibility to law students.
