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.
