Full Description
Thomson's Delictual Liability is a highly respected account of the principles of delict in Scots law and is the go-to introductory textbook on the subject.
The Seventh Edition has been substantially updated and comprehensively restructured to meet the contemporary needs of LLB students and practitioners. It includes:
- New and expanded chapters on the duty of care, separately considering psychiatric harm, pure economic loss, the liability of public authorities, and novel situations
- A new chapter on prescription and limitation, and a new discrete chapter on vicarious liability, to reflect the practical significance of both topics
- Significant recent case law, including Moray Offshore Renewable Power Ltd v BlueFloat Energy UK Holdings Ltd and Roche Diagnostics Ltd v Greater Glasgow Health Board on the economic delicts, Coulter v Anderson, Anderson and Brown LLP on pure economic loss, and McCulloch v Forth Valley Health Board on medical negligence
This title provides an exceptionally clear and direct pathway through a complicated area of Scots law. It stands as an invaluable text for LLB students and practitioners alike.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scots Law Library, Scottish Law Service and Scottish Student Service online services.
