Synopsis

(PUBLICATION FIRST MARKED AS OUT OF PRINT 20/05/04)Now in its second edition, Delictual Liability is a highly respected and extremely popular account of the principles of delict in Scots law and is a standard introductory textbook to the subject. Delict is a notoriously difficult area of law. This book is characterised by its clear and coherent account of the principles of delict, which should prove useful to student and practitioner alike. The text is founded on the principles of delictual liability, illustrated by many examples. The author discusses leading cases in detail, using diagrams to explain complicated situations clearly and concisely. The second edition is necessitated by general changes in the law. In particular, the chapter relating to economic loss has been completely rewritten to take account of the latest case law. Topics of immense practical importance are also included, such as road accidents and the quantification of damages.
