Law of torts - John Lewthwaite

Given the enormity of the task that faces the average law student, it is no wonder that many students experience extreme difficulty during their undergraduate studies. They are faced with complex legal arguments, illogical structures and confusing facts, none of which make learning the law easy. Blackstones Study Packs have been developed to overcome these difficulties making the law accessible for all levels of students. Each Study Pack contains many features not normally found in traditional textbooks. Each chapter contains a set of Learning Objectives, Research Activities, Self Assessment Questions and some also include End of Chapter Assessment Questions. Uniquely, the Cases and Materials referred to in the Text are contained in a CD-ROM inside the back cover of this book. The Cases and Materials contain a detailed personal library of extracts from both primary and secondary materials, which are fully cross-referenced from the Text. The CD-ROM also contains the answers to the end of chapter assessment questions. The law of torts is one of the most diverse and interesting areas of the law.;This text is designed as a clear introduction to the major torts, especially negligence and and its specialised subtorts, trespass torts and nuisance. Tort is one area where the House of Lords has recently been very active and the latest cases, including Cambridge Water, X minors v Bedfordshire Country Council, White v Jones and Stovin v Wise are fully covered. The Human Rights Act 1998 will influence the long-term development of the law, particularly in negligence and defamation. Coverage of the Act's main provisions are included in this edition.
