Tort Law Directions is written in an engaging and lively manner with an emphasis on explaining the key topics covered on tort law courses with clarity. The book provides a thorough introduction to the key principles of tort law, and illustrates the points of law through discussions of important cases. Two introductory chapters introduce the basic concept of what tort law is, and explain the basic workings of the tort system, which helps to contextualise the discussions of the substantive law that follow. The book includes a range of learning features to help guide and support students through the material in an interesting and engaging way. Questions, summaries, and think points encourage active learning, and enable students to check their understanding of the subject as they progress through the course. These learning features and the clear writing style ensure that students can also benefit from the arguments developed throughout the chapters, and from some introductory academic debates. The book's clear structure and cross-referencing will enable students to navigate easily through the diversity of tort law, making this an ideal text for students new to the subject.Online Resource Centre Student resources: - Podcasts of authors' answers to students' frequently asked questions - Updates on cases and legislation - Web links to further reading - Further discussion/analysis of the topics or issues covered in the chapter - Self-testing short answer and multiple-choice questions and associated feedback - Further guidance and examples on answering problem and essay questions in tort Lecturer resources: - Testbank of 200 multiple-choice questions with answers and feedback - Suggested group exercises/activities relating to the additional reading
