Description
Contemporary Australian Tort Law Cases and Materials is a comprehensible textbook for students new to tort law. It scaffolds student learning by introducing the principles of tort law and demonstrating their application via case examples and key legislation. The book takes a contemporary approach to issues in Australian tort law, with a section on feminist critiques of law reform and insight into the Stolen Generations litigation. It harnesses principles of authentic assessment by offering review questions, critical thinking questions, discussion topics, comparison questions and practice problems. The annotation of the cases to highlight key principles further consolidates the book as a student-centric and learner-friendly resource. This unique approach will assist student comprehension of a range of torts and their defences, including negligence, trespass, nuisance, defamation, breach of statutory duty, and misfeasance in public office. The book also addresses vicarious and concurrent liability, remedies (including damages), and Australian statutory compensation schemes.
