Takes students from zero knowledge to engaged and critical thinkers. This best-selling undergraduate textbook from renowned authors Kirsty Horsey & Erika Rackley offers a lively, accessible, and thoughtful treatment of all key tort law topics, and includes carefully chosen learning features that encourage deep and critical thinking.

Key features:

  • Problem questions at the beginning of chapters set the scene, immediately putting the law in context. Outline answers and an annotated version with issues and cases to consider offer students further insights.
  • 'Counterpoint' and 'pause for reflection' boxes encourage students to think critically and engage with areas of controversy or reform
  • Annotated statutes and judgments explain the more difficult points of law and help students develop the invaluable skills of reading, interpreting, and analysing
  • Author videos in every chapter enliven, explain, and enrich key topics (available only on Law Trove and in the e-book)
  • Multiple-choice self-test questions at the end of each section allow students to test their understanding as they work through the book (available only on Law Trove and in the e-book)
  • Interactive decision trees provide a visual aid to understanding key torts, and cement that knowledge through direct, step-by-step engagement (available only on Law Trove and in the e-book)

New to this edition:

  • Multiple-choice self-test questions throughout the book, with instant feedback (available only on Law Trove and in the e-book)
  • New and updated coverage of key legal developments, including Hassam & Anor v Rabot & Anor [2024] UKSC 11 on defences, McCulloch v Forth Valley Health Board [2023] UKSC 26 on breach, Michael Holmes v Poeton Holdings Ltd [2023] EWCA Civ 1377 on causation, Paul v Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust; Polmear v Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust; Purchase v Ahmed [2024] UKSC 1 on psychiatric harm, and Trustees of the Barry Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses v BXB [2023] UKSC 15 on vicarious liability
