In this book leading scholars from the United Kingdom, the United
States and Australia challenge established common law rules and
suggest new approaches to both old and emerging problems in tort
law. Some of the chapters consider broad issues such as the
importance of flexibility over certainty in tort law, connections
between tort law and human flourishing and the indirect effects of
changes in tort law. Other chapters engage more specific topics
including the role of vindication in tort law, the relationship
between criminal law and tort law, the use of epidemiological
evidence in analysing causation, accessory liability in tort law,
the role of malice in intentional torts and the role of statutes in
tort law. They propose new approaches to contributory negligence,
emotional distress, loss of a chance, damages for nuisance, the
tort of conspiracy and vicarious liability. The chapters in this
book were originally presented at the Sixth Biennial Conference on
the Law of Obligations at Western University in London, Ontario in
July 2012. They will be highly useful to lawyers, judges and
scholars across the common law world.
In this book, articles by leading tort scholars from Australia,
Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the
United States deal with important theoretical and practical issues
that are emerging in the law of torts. The articles analyse recent
leading developments in areas such as economic negligence,
causation, vicarious liability, non-delegable duty, breach of
statutory duty, intentional torts, damages, and tort law in the
family. They provide a foretaste of the issues that will face tort
law in the near future and offer critical viewpoints that should
not go unheeded. With its rich breadth of contributors and topics,
Emerging Issues in Tort Law will be highly useful to lawyers,
judges and academics across the common law world. Contributors:
