Michael A. Jones
has updated his popular textbook, providing an accessible and up to
date picture of the law of torts. Designed to map directly on to
undergraduate courses, the text offers a broad and detailed
description of all core topics, with particular emphasis on the tort
of negligence and its related areas. The book explores the underlying
themes and principles in the law of torts, drawing on major cases and
statute law to illustrate how they operate in practice.
The ninth edition
has been thoroughly updated in the light of recent changes in case
and statute law. In order to closely mirror course structure, human
rights is covered alongside the relevant topics rather than solely in
the first chapter. The new text design has also improved the
user-friendly nature of the book and an increase in the number of
chapters ensures that key areas are more manageable and accessible.
