Torts Law
This text introduces students to the legal concepts, key cases and contemporary issues surrounding the law of intentional and negligent torts and offers a practical guide to how tort principles are applied in legal practice. Discussion includes coverage of the statutory framework of the Civil Liability Acts and other relevant legislation, reflecting the growing centrality of statute, and statutory interpretation, in the suite of legal skills relevant to law studies and legal practice. Student-friendly features such as accessibly-written explanations, clear learning objectives, the inclusion of tables and diagrams scaffolding information, case summaries, and example answers to legal problems support effective learning. Chapters on tort law in practice and class actions provide context to the understanding of tort law principles. A specific and focused chapter on torts research assists in the development of foundational skills. 

The second edition has been extensively revised and updated, including coverage of recent legislative amendments and case law such as Tapp and Allen v Chadwick, and decisions relating to institutional abuse, defamation, especially on social media, and interpretation of the Civil Liability Acts.
