Product Description A new conceptual framework for the law of tort, and private law in general, from one of the world's leading academic lawyers. Review "...Cane is sweet reasonableness throughout . . .Cane says, and shows, that there is much to be learnt by unpacking the various torts and reorganising their elements under the headings of plaintiff's interest, defendant's conduct and what the law does about it...admirably written.. in an easy loping style...very welcome." --Cambridge Law Journal"...the book stands as a statement of an approach to the subject of tort favoured by one of the leading scholars working in the field. On these grounds alone it should be read by every serious student of the law of tort." --Legal Studies"This book is a valuable addition to legal scholarship. Its strength lies not in expounding the law but in presenting considered reflections about tort law and the place of that branch of the law in the overall legal landscape." --Torts Law Journal
