Postgraduate students, especially those studying for CPE and other professional qualifications where a knowledge of tort law is required. Also for LLM courses in Tort law and obligations. This book provides a coherent exposition of the law of tort around a framework which identifies clearly the guiding principles, identifying where decided cases have departed from these principles, and marking out the directions in which the law of torts is likely to develop in the future.

About this title

Review:

Tort Law by McBride and Bagshaw is extremely comprehensive, covering many of the areas of a Tort law course and also additional areas which may be covered by other subjects.Each chapter conveys the information in an easy to understand and straight-forward manner. Each tort is explained by reference to examples. This is very useful as these hypothetic examples spell out the circumstances that the law attempts to address. The companion website is very useful with updates on the most recent cases which are useful for tort law, common law or consumer law student's. The updated cases also include some analytic content which is both thought provoking and useful.

'The authors provide an updating service on the Pearson website covering all new cases and statutes, and providing problems and model answers. This is a valuable resource for students (and lecturers) for a subject which is constantly on the march.'Christine Vallely, University of Wolverhampton, The Law Teacher Vol 37, No 1.

Written in a lively and friendly style, Tort Law aims to provide the reader with a clear, accessible and up-to-date overview of the entire field of tort law. While Tort Law is primarily intended to help students studying tort law at degree level or for the CPE, Tort Law will also be of interest to academics, practitioners and judges. Tort Law discusses in detail-
· the facts and decisions in over 400 cases
· the concept of a tort and the nature of tort law, providing tort law with an intellectual structure for tort law in the twenty-first century
· the full range of torts recognised in English law
· the full range of remedies that may be awarded when a tort has been committed, including compensatory damages, aggravated damages, exemplary damages, restitutionary damages and injunctions
· proposals to reform problematic areas of tort law, such as the law on libel and slander, and the law on damages
· the provisions and likely impact of the Human Rights Act 1998
Areas of tort law that have traditionally proved difficult for students to understand - such as the law of negligence and the law of damages - are presented here in a way that makes the principles underlying those areas of law easy to understand and apply. In addition, the authors and publishers of Tort Law have combined to produce a companion website which will provide the reader with quarterly updates on recent developments in tort law and model answers to a full range of tort problem questions.
