The law of torts recognises many defences to liability. While some
of these defences have been explored in detail, scant attention has
been given to the theoretical foundations of defences generally. In
particular, no serious attempt has been made to explain how
defences relate to each other or to the torts to which they
pertain. The goal of this book is to reduce the size of this
substantial gap in our understanding of tort law. The principal way
in which it attempts to do so is by developing a taxonomy of
defences. The book shows that much can be learned about a given
defence from the way in which it is classified. This new paperback
edition contains a substantial preface in which the author responds
to critics. Reviews 'James Goudkamp's book can rightly claim to be
the first serious attempt to examine tort law defences
systematically and it is a very important addition to the private
law canon ... [His] analysis is consistently thought-provoking ...
[T]his book will provide the framework for future analysis of all
private law defences'. Graham Virgo, The Cambridge Law Journal
'This book ... is the first sustained attempt in the modern law to
explore the theoretical foundations of the defences to liability
recognised by the law of tort and their interrelationship ... [It
is] an instant classic'. Ken Oliphant and Annette Morris, Yearbook
of European Tort Law 'James Goudkamp's Tort Law Defences fills a
startling gap in tort law scholarship... [It] provides an
impressive foundation for the future study of defences, and will
undoubtedly become the standard against which all other works are
measured'. Erika Chamberlain, Canadian Business Law Journal
