520			_aThe purpose of this book is to provide a clear guide to tort law, examining the main principles and areas of the subject. It includes text emphasising the main issues of liability. The text incorporates relevent materials, extracts from leading judgements, articles and reports of review bodies on tort law. It should prove especially useful for those who do not have access to a law library, as for those whose library is under severe pressure from users. It will be useful to those participating in seminars and tutorials and will enable them to take part in a good level of discussion. This new edition of Sourcebook on Torts have been fully revised and incorporates the human rights Act 1998. The effect of the European Court's decision in Osman is now being felt, as is evident from the judgements of the House of Lords in Barrett v Enfield BC. The Law Commission's proposals on liability for psychiatric illness are included. Developments at house of Lords' level in the tort of nuisance, the defence of qualified privilege and damages are also scrutinised. Several Law commission reports and the Social Security (Recovery of Benefits) Act 1997 are also extracted, as are other new pieces of legislation, such as the Damages Act 1996 and the Defamation Act 1996. - Back cover
