FLEMING’S THE LAW OF TORTS,
10TH EDITION
Carolyn Sappideen and Prue Vines
new
EDition
The Law of Torts by Professor John Fleming
was last published in 1998. It is distinguished
throughout the world of tort scholarship as a
work of enormous significance.
Major new developments include: the impact
of tort reform processes; the impact of human
rights instruments on tort law; the contraction
of liability, with the impact of civil liability
legislation with its emphasis on personal
autonomy; the new consumer law legislation;
and the new uniform defamation code.
The key strength of Fleming is its examination,
and elucidation, of legal principle. This text is
known for its distillation of the essence of tort
legal principles and its critical evaluation of
them. Professor Fleming had an unflinching
belief that no legal system is superior to any
other. He combed the corners of the common
law and civil law world in the search for answers.
The new edition continues John Fleming’s
breadth of vision.
The authors of the new edition preserve
Professor Fleming’s scholarship while
contributing their own insight. The result is
clearly outstanding.
TORTS: COMMENTARY AND MATERIALS,
10TH EDITION
Sappideen, Vines, Grant and Watson
Torts: Commentary and Materials, 10 th Edition
continues to provide expert commentary on
carefully selected extracts from each area of
tort law. Considerable emphasis is placed on
the choice of classic cases as well as engaging
topical examples.
The 10 th edition has been streamlined and
restructured to more accurately reflect the
subject as taught in Australian universities.
Each area of the book has been revised and
condensed to increase clarity, and the “Standard
of care” and “Breach of duty” chapters have
been combined to better integrate these issues.
In this new edition the changes created by the
Civil Liability Act regimes in each jurisdiction
are incorporated in such a way as to make
this difficult legislation more accessible while
retaining the common law base on which these
regimes operate.
