Description
Todd on Torts (as this title has come to be known) gives detailed treatment of the law, incorporating all recent developments in New Zealand and the wider common law world. In the four years since publication of the second edition of this book there has been a multitude of new cases. In the negligence field there have been signficant decisions about misstatements, negligence and contract, relational financial loss, mental injury, barristers2 immunity, wrongful birth and the liability of public bodies. In defamation, the defence of qualified privilege has been extended, while significant decisions in other areas include the relationship between the accident compensation scheme and the common law, malicious prosecution, contributory negligence, vicarious liability, joint and current tortfeasors and exemplary damages. The third edition of "The Law of Torts in New Zealand" explores and analyses these decisions and many other developments in tort law. As in the previous editions it takes a wide and all-embracing approach by examining various related bases of civil liability, whether statutory, equitable or contractual. The policies underlying the law are given close attention, and throughout the book the rules of tort are assessed in the light of their objectives and likely consequences.
