Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations go out to ODGer Allan Beever on the publication of his newest book with Hart entitled: A Theory of Tort Liability. As is usual Hart will offer a 20% discount to those you follow the instructions on the attached flyer. The flyer also includes a detailed table of contents for those interested in the book’s scope.

 

Here is the book description:

 

This book provides a comprehensive theory of the rights upon which tort law is based and the liability that flows from violating those rights. … It argues that there are three general kinds of liability found in the law of tort: liability for putting another or another’s property to one’s purposes directly, liability for doing something to a third party that puts another or another’s property to one’s purposes, and liability for pursuing purposes in a way that improperly interferes with the ability of another to pursue her legitimate purposes. It terms these forms liability for direct control, liability for indirect control and liability for injury respectively. The result is a coherent, philosophical understanding of the structure of tort liability as an entire system. In developing its position, the book considers the laws of Australia, Canada, England and Wales, New Zealand and the United States.

 

Happy Reading,
