Publisher's Synopsis
Michael A. Jones has updated his popular textbook, providing an accessible and up to date picture of the law of torts. Designed to map directly on to undergraduate courses, the text offers a broad and detailed description of all core topics, with particular emphasis on the tort of negligence and its related areas. The book explores the underlying themes and principles in the law of torts, drawing on major cases and statute law to illustrate how they operate in practice. The ninth edition has been thoroughly updated in the light of recent changes in case and statute law. In order to closely mirror course structure, human rights is covered alongside the relevant topics rather than solely in the first chapter. The new text design has also improved the user-friendly nature of the book and an increase in the number of chapters ensures that key areas are more manageable and accessible. Online Resource Centre This text is supported by a test bank of multiple choice questions and a companion web site. The companion web site includes updates on new case law and links to other helpful web sites.
