Dear Colleagues:

Congratulations to James Goudkamp on the publication of his new book Tort Law Defences with Hart Publishing.  Hart has graciously offered a 20% discount to ODGers if the attached form is used.

From the book description:

The law of torts recognises many defences to liability. While some of these defences have been explored in detail, scant attention has been given to the theoretical foundations of defences generally. In particular, no serious attempt has been made to explain how defences relate to each other or to the torts to which they pertain. The goal of this book is to reduce the size of this substantial gap in our understanding of tort law. The principal way in which it attempts to do so is by developing a taxonomy of defences. The book shows that much can be learned about a given defence from the way in which it is classified.

 

Happy Reading,
