Description

"Street on Torts" has long been renowned for its clear and wide-ranging coverage of the law of torts, explaining clearly how torts actually work and the social purposes behind them. This edition continues to cover the whole range of torts including particularly governmental liability, economic loss, damages, nuisance, standard of care in professional negligence, psychiatric harm and wrongful birth. It also takes account of the growing importance of the Human Rights Act in tort issues.
