"Tort law includes the legal rules that govern many important subjects such as negligence, nuisance, defamation and trespass. These rules are of foundational importance for lawyers and judges and are also important for members of the public seeking to understand their rights and responsibilities in their everyday and commercial activities. Because tort law is primarily drawn from the results of many judicial decisions in individual cases, it can be difficult to understand. Introduction to the Canadian Law of Torts, 4th Edition provides the explanation and analysis needed to confidently navigate not only the key concepts but also many of the details and subtleties. Written by a team of leading tort law scholars, the fourth edition builds on the earlier editions written by the late Gerald Fridman, one of the finest legal scholars of his generation. It is a must-have addition to the libraries of practitioners and law students alike. It is an essential resource for those learning tort law and an excellent primer and quick reference for those with greater familiarity" --Publisher description.
