Oxford University Press Torts and Rights
Book SynopsisThe law of torts is concerned with the secondary obligations generated by the infringement of primary rights. This work seeks to show that this apparently simple proposition enables us to understand the law of torts as found in the common law. Using primarily English materials, but drawing heavily upon the law of other common law jurisdictions, Stevens seeks to give an account of the law of torts which relies upon the core material familiar to most students and practitioners with a grasp of the law of torts. This material is drawn together in support of a single argument in a provocative and accessible style, and puts forward a new theoretical model for analysing the law of torts, providing an overarching framework for radically reconceiving the subject.Trade ReviewThis is a major contribution to the literature, demanding the attention of anyone with a serious interest in the theory of the law of tortious responsibility. * European Tort Law *This intelligent and ambitious book is going to influence deeply future discourse. * Russell Brown, Canadian Business Law Journal *Torts and Rights is full of stimulating and provocative analysis and argument, both descriptive and normative. It deserves a large and wide audience. * Peter Cane, The Modern Law Review *In Torts and Rights, Stevens has taken the claim of rights-based theorists one step further and in a far-ranging tour de force shows how most of the well-recognised torts can be understood from this perspective. * JW Neyers, Kings Law Journal *Whilst Stevens audience may not find themselves in agreement with all of his conclusions, few will be able to deny the coherence of his presentation or the clarity of his reasoning. Its impact on the law of torts is bound to be significant; tort lawyers, you have been warned. * Sarah Green, The Cambridge Law Journal *A much clearer and rational analysis of the structure of tort law * Simon Douglas, Law Quarterly Review *Packed with a host of valuable insights * John Murphy, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies *Stevens presents a convincing and hard-hitting rights-based portrayal of the whole of the law of torts in an economical 361 pages. * JW Neyers, King's Law Journal, 19 *A valuable contribution to the subject. * Lord Hoffmann, from the Foreword *Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press A History of Australian Tort Law 19011945
Book SynopsisLittle attention has been paid to the development of Australian private law throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Using the law of tort as an example, Mark Lunney argues that Australian contributions to common law development need to be viewed in the context of the British race patriotism that characterised the intellectual and cultural milieu of Australian legal practitioners. Using not only primary legal materials but also newspapers and other secondary sources, he traces Australian developments to what Australian lawyers viewed as British common law. The interaction between formal legal doctrine and the wider Australian contexts in which that doctrine applied provided considerable opportunities for nuanced innovation in both the legal rules themselves and in their application. This book will be of interest to both lawyers and historians keen to see how notions of Australian identity have contributed to the development of an Australian law.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Historiography and the history of Australian private law in the first half of the twentieth century: Et in Arcadia Ego?; 3. Avoiding and interpreting the 'refinements of English law': Defamation in Australia 1901–45; 4. Politics, politicians, the press and the law of defamation; 5.

Oxford University Press Rights Wrongs and Injustices
Book SynopsisRights, Wrongs, and Injustices is the first comprehensive account of the scope, foundations, and structure of remedial law in common law jurisdictions. The rules governing the kinds of complaints that common law courts will accept are generally well understood. However, the rules governing when and how they respond to such complaints are not. This book provides that understanding. It argues that remedies are judicial rulings, and that remedial law is the law governing their availability and content. Focusing on rulings that resolve private law disputes (for example, damages, injunctions, and restitutionary orders), this book explains why remedial law is distinctive, how it relates to substantive law, and what its foundational principles are. The book advances four main arguments. First, the question of what courts should do when individuals seek their assistance (the focus of remedial law) is different from the question of how individuals should treat one another in their day-to-day liTable of Contents1: Introduction 2: Historical Foundations 3: Form, Creation, Legal Effects 4: The Basic Structure 5: Philosophical Foundations 6: Rights-Threats 7: Wrongs 8: Injustices 9: Defences

Oxford University Press An Introduction to Tort Law
Book SynopsisThe second edition of An Introduction to Tort Law offers a clear exposition to the rapidly developing law of tort in Britain. For those coming to the subject for the first time it provides a succinct and thoughtful overview; ideal as an introduction, it will also be of use and interest to those engaged in the course or completing it, for it pulls themes together, illustrates important distinctions and provokes reflection on what has already been learnt.Many of the areas subjected to analysis and discussion are highly topical, such as the invasion of the privacy of celebrities, and liability for medical mishaps and industrial diseases. On these and many other subjects of relevance in modern society, Weir''s comments act as a springboard for further study and reflection, as well as presenting an authoritative overview, enlivened by a fascinating and critical commentary, of the present situation and how we reached it.The second edition naturally includes recent developments in tort law, tTrade ReviewReview from previous edition "A very useful short introduction to the subject written with this writer's usual wit and capacity to go to the centre of an issue."
