  The fourth edition of this book has been brought up-to-date with recently decided cases and new legislation. A clear and unambiguous treatment of the main principles of the law of tort is provided, with a selective presentation of key topics, described and analysed at an appropriate depth for undergraduate study. This edition takes account of developments in a number of areas, for example the operation of policy in relation to the existence of a duty of care in negligence, negligently induced psychiatric damage - an area now the subject of a Law Commission Report - harassment as a statutory tort, and private nuisance. Law of Tort is a title within the Foundation Studies in Law Series, written for law students for the core subjects required on law degrees and on postgraduate common professional examination courses. Ideal for part-time and distance-learning courses as well as traditional modularised courses, the books are intended to be used in conjunction with other sources such as law reports and case books.
