This new cases and materials book creates a link between the lecture
hall, the physical and electronic libraries and the factual situations that create tort
litigation. It recognises the conceptual and functional difficulties associated with the
law of tort, as well as demonstrating the growing influence of European law. Each section
is introduced and linked to the next by an authors note, followed by questions to prompt
reflection and suggestions for further reading and research.
