Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 09:47:37 -0400 From: Jason Neyers Subject: Tort Law Symposium
Dear Colleagues: I am in the early stages of organizing a symposium on tort law to held at our Faculty on the weekend of June 9-11th, 2006. The theme of the event is "Emerging Issues in Tort Law" and the purpose of the symposium is to bring together leading academics to discuss undertheorized and/or underexplored areas of tort law that are likely to examined by appellate courts in the near future. Peter Benson, Vaughan Black, Peter Cane, Lewis Klar, Ken Oliphant, Denise Reaume, Robert Solomon, Jane Stapleton, Robert Stevens, Stephen Todd and Richard Wright have all tentatively agreed to present papers on the topics that include: Theories of Non-delegable Duty, The Defence of Justification for Economic Torts, Remoteness for Intentional Torts, Negligent Trespass, White v. Jones in Canada, NESS and Omissions, Decision Causation, Alcohol Manufacturer’s Duty to Warn, Intentional Infliction of Nervous Shock, Liability for Economic loss to Commercial Property, and The Structure of Intentional Torts. With this in mind, I was wondering if any of our ODG members would be interested in either presenting a paper on the conference theme or alternatively being a commentator on one of the proposed papers. Funding is still up in the air, but at the least, I will be able to provide for your accommodation while in London should you choose to participate in the event (and perhaps more). The proceeds of the symposium will most likely be jointly published as a book with a leading legal publisher and as a special issue of a Canadian law journal. If you are tentatively interested in participating please let me know as soon as possible (as I am preparing funding applications). Please also feel free to distribute this e-mail to any of your colleagues who might be interested in participating.
Sincerely, --
