Torts Law
Series: Hart Studies in Private Law: Essays on Defences
This book is the first in a series of essay collections on defences in private law. It addresses defences to liability arising in tort. The essays range from those adopting a primarily doctrinal approach to others that examine the law from a more theoretical or historical perspective. Some essays focus on individual defences, while some are concerned with the links between defences, or with how defences relate to the structure of tort law as a whole. A number of the essays also draw upon concepts and literature that have been developed mainly in relation to the criminal law, and consider their application to tort law. The essays make several original contributions to this complex, important but neglected field of academic enquiry.

All of the ... contributions are thought-provoking and provide a much-needed theoretical perspective the book is essential reading for all private law scholars. [Defences in Tort] is the first in a series of works concerned with defences to liability arising in private law and if the future editions come anywhere close to the calibre of essays contained here one very much looks forward to reading the rest. -- Craig Purshouse Professional Negligence The general quality of the contributions is very good indeed and the collection as a whole can be enthusiastically recommended.
