Product Description

The second edition of "Local Authority Liability" provides a comprehensive explanation of the wide-ranging common law and statutory liabilities facing local authorities. Local authorities are increasingly vulnerable to claims for damages - a trend reinforced by developing case law and the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998. It is therefore vital that local authority staff, professional advisers, insurers and anyone involved in local authority litigation has a detailed knowledge of the current position of liability and negligence in this field. The book covers every area of the topic where the actions, or omissions, of a local authority might give rise to claims for damages, explaining the impact of all the recent important cases on this constantly evolving subject.
