This thoroughly updated second edition provides a clear and structured introduction to the subject of tort law with a global outlook.

Including the latest developments in the field, this is the ideal textbook to aid readers’ comparative understanding of the topic by clarifying corresponding concepts and terminology.

  • Explains new doctrinal works and case law
  • Considers tort law families across the world, alongside customary and regional law
  • Explores emerging rules, such as the revised Product Liability Directive and expands definitions, such as that of defamation
  • Revises concepts including private nuisance and assumption of responsibility within negligence and highlights concepts that are often overlooked
