Product Description

The law of torts is based almost entirely on case law and therefore a thorough knowledge of the leading cases is essential if the student is to understand the subject. This selection has been based on the standard cases, and the extracts attempt to provide the essence of the reasoning and the decision. Statutory materials are included where necessary. New Cases include: Wong v Parkside NHS Trust on harassment, Z v UK on duty of care, Lister v Hesley Hall on vicarious liability, A v National Blood Authority on product liability, and Loutchansky v The Times on defamation.

Customer Reviews

First Year Law
I tended to read cases on Lexis Nexis, but this was useful when those cases were very long/complicated. Also good for foreign cases, which can be more difficult to find.
