Overview

"This collection of materials is the companion volume to the corresponding ""LLB Learning Text"". Used together, they provide a learning programme which enables students to learn the subject at their own pace and in their own time. More importantly, the cases and materials on their own are a portable library, allowing the student to concentrate his or her energies on researching and understanding difficult legal points. The materials have been extracted and is presented in the same order as it is dealt with in the ""LLB Learning Text"". This enables the student to analyze the material and understand the way in which it complements and expands upon the guidance give by the ""Learning Text"". Answers to the end-of-chapter assessment questions in the corresponding ""Learning Text"" are found in these ""Cases and Materials"" volumes. Tort is the ultimate case law subject. This volume covers the main cases but also includes some less well-known ones which will provide helpful insights for the student. Much of the law of torts is now statute-based and the relevant statutes are also covered. In addition, selected academic comment is inluded, especially in relation to negligence."
