  Tort is notorious as a difficult topic for students which is misleading when 'potted' by the traditional textbooks. Mullis and Oliphant present the issues clearly and helpfully, do not hide the complexities but show how they should be understood. The major focus of the book is negligence, where the authors give a full treatment of the nervous shock issue; the other torts - concerning persons, personal property and land, reputation and privacy - receive a judicious and up-to-date presentation.

  Torts make headline news. From mass disasters like Hillsborough and King's Cross to scandal-mongering in the popular press, torts are seldom far from the front pages. Yet, despite its human interest, the law of torts is notoriously difficult for students. This new edition is an accessible introduction to this exciting area of law which covers the basic principles of the law of torts as well as directing the reader towards the complexities of the subject and its relationship with society.
