GILIKER: TORT, 7TH EDITION

Tort is the law of civil wrongs. This means behaviour which the law regards as wrongful and which gives rise to a remedy of damages or other relief, such as an injunction. The most important tort is that of negligence. The tort of negligence protects those injured by a failure to take reasonable care by a person who owes them a duty of care. Other torts include nuisance, defamation, trespass to land, battery, assault, false imprisonment and misuse of private information.

Giliker's Tort law textbook presents an accessible and current picture of the law of torts and is ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time. The text succinctly covers all the major concepts in the law of torts and clearly illustrates how they work in practice by reference to the major cases in this field and the main statutory provisions.
