This is the new edition of the widely recommended Tort Law: Text and Materials by Mark Lunney and Ken Oliphant. Fully revised and updated to reflect all recent developments (e.g. the impact of the Human Rights Act), the second edition of this popular text combines the best features of a stand-alone textbook with those of a traditional materials volume. Interesting and authoritative author commentary is developed through detailed introductory sections that place the topics in context and extract commentary to encourage full consideration of each issue and direct students to further reading and more in-depth research. A stimulating selection of well-chosen extracts from relevant case law as well as key academic articles map closely onto current UK courses, and highlight issues worthy of more detailed discussion. A new and improved page layout and format including further headings, chapter summaries, and a new typeface allow for clearer differentiation between commentary and materials and improve the user-friendly aspects and navigation through the text. Written with the undergraduate in mind, the text is easily accessible for all those following courses in tort law and should be essential reading for students coming to the subject for the first time.
