The fifth edition of Australian Principles of Tort Law provides currency, depth of analysis and clear explanation of this challenging area of law. It explains common law doctrine and the operation of civil liability legislation across Australian jurisdictions. There is extensive discussion and analysis of the latest resources with particular focus on the scope and content of the growing body of case law on interpretation and application of Australian civil liability legislation.
Stewart and Stuhmcke succeed in clarifying a conceptually difficult area of law across all Australian jurisdictions. They discuss an excellent range of cases (geographical and hierarchical), explain the relevance and applicability of the civil liability legislation, and detail the impact and importance of the relationship between the legislation and the common law of tort.
