Routledge - Child Abuse Tort Claims Against Public Bodies

As international cooperation grows to tackle child abuse and neglect, the legal community faces a growing need for specialized analysis. This scholarly work by Routledge addresses a significant gap in current literature by providing a legal comparative commentary on child abuse claims within tort law. This book investigates the specific factual circumstances found in landmark English cases, such as X v. Bedfordshire County Council and Barrett v. Enfield London Borough Council. It examines how these cases have been handled by the European Court of Human Rights and other legal bodies. By offering a comparative law view, this text provides essential insights for legal professionals, researchers, and academics studying the intersection of public body responsibility and child protection laws. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding how different jurisdictions approach the complex legal challenges surrounding child abuse and neglect claims.
