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,
-- Jason Neyers Professor of Law Faculty of Law Western University N6A 3K7 (519) 661-2111 x. 88435
