Tort Law (Principles of Law)

This book provides a clear and well structured coverage of the law of tort, paying particular attention to areas which students often find difficult. The book succeeds in analysing the topics in a clear and thorough manner whilst stimulating interest in the areas under review. In addition to the well structured coverage of the basic rules of tort, the book also looks at the context and policy considerations underlying the development of tort law. This third edition includes changes made by the Defamation Act 1996, and the new limitation period as well as fully up to date case law.
