The aim of the fifth edition of The Law of Torts in Australia, like that of the previous four, is to provide a distinctively Australian account of the most important parts of tort law, primarily for use by students. This edition is the most comprehensive offering; it goes into more depth than other texts, and explores motivations and complexities behind the principles of tort law, whilst challenging students to think critically about the law.

The Law of Torts In Australia

Barker, Kit

This new Text, Cases and Materials adopts a modern approach to the law of tort, presenting the key cases and statutes alongside a selection of the most important critical writings on the law. A variety of critical perspectives (economic, leftist, feminist, etc) are explored. The aim throughout is to present tort law as a living entity, responding to contemporary stimuli at each stage of its development. Each section begins with a textual introduction by the authors; more detailed commentary follows the extracts. It will be useful both as a stand-alone coursebook and also as a traditional sourcebook supplementing an independent text. Tort Law is easier to follow and more suitable for use as a stand-alone coursebook than many of its competitors for several reasons. First, it includes a higher proportion of text to extracts; it also incorporates a greater number of extracts from critical writings on the law, thus representing a wider range of critical perspectives than are found in rival sourcebooks

Tort Law: Text and Materials

Tort Law: Text and Materials combines the best features of a stand-alone textbook with those of a traditional materials volume. The carefully-chosen selection of extracts from case law and academic articles map closely to undergraduate tort law courses, while the stimulating author commentary highlights key points and provides a clear context for the cases and materials. By explaining the key points of the law at the beginning of each section and building on this with substantial case extracts and further commentary, Tort Law enables the student to develop a thorough understanding of this difficult subject area. Also included in this edition is a wide selection of critical writings, giving an invaluable overview of the most important academic perspectives on tort law. The clear two-colour page layout and design allows for easy distinction between text and materials, and aids navigation throughout the text.Tort Law has been written with the undergradaute in mind, and should be essential reading for students coming to the subject for the first time.

This is the new edition of the widely read Tort Law: Text and Materials by Mark Lunney and Ken Oliphant. Fully revised and updated to reflect all recent developments (e.g. the impact of the Human Rights Act), the second edition of this popular text combines the best features of a stand-alone book with those of a traditional materials volume.

The fourth edition of this celebrated book brings together a selection of carefully chosen extracts from cases and materials with insightful author text. Each section begins with a clear overview of the law, followed by illustrating extracts from case law and from government reports and scholarly literature, which are supported by the authors' expert explanation and analysis. Opportunities for further research are highlighted by the many suggestions for additional readings that are woven throughout the text. This approach enables students to gain a rich and contextual understanding of the law of tort.

Little attention has been paid to the development of Australian private law throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Using the law of tort as an example, Mark Lunney argues that Australian contributions to common law development need to be viewed in the context of the British race patriotism that characterised the intellectual and cultural milieu of Australian legal practitioners. Using not only primary legal materials but also newspapers and other secondary sources, he traces Australian developments to what Australian lawyers viewed as British common law. The interaction between formal legal doctrine and the wider Australian contexts in which that doctrine applied provided considerable opportunities for nuanced innovation in both the legal rules themselves and in their application. This book will be of interest to both lawyers and historians keen to see how notions of Australian identity have contributed to the development of an Australian law.
