Description

The past few years have witnessed a rapid expansion of case law in the area of professional negligence, and the new product liability legislation has focused attention on the higher standards of care now exacted from professional people. Designed to cover all the major areas of tort liability, this reference work provides assistance on matters of principle and detail, and has been rewritten to include a detailed analysis of this burgeoning area of litigation. Chapters have been revised as a result of the passage of the "Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988", while the coverage of breach of confidence has been expanded and now forms a separate chapter. The layout of this edition follows previous volumes, early chapters dealing with general issues, and later chapters with particular torts. A large amount of new material has been incorporated to ensure that the work continues to take account of current legal developments and provides up to date accounts for both practising and academic lawyers.
