The law of torts hovers over virtually every activity of modern society. No enterprise, action or profession is beyond its potential scope. As a result, tort law is of real concern to most legal practitioners, jurists and academics. With respect to negligence, accidents happen every day, raising several legal issues. Virtually no area of practice is untouched by the implications of negligence law, as questions of standard of care and causation arise in every aspect of human endeavour, inevitably making their way for resolution into law offices across Canada.
Newly revised and thoroughly updated, Halsbury's Torts (2024 Reissue) defines and explains the application of the law in Canada relating to civil wrongs. From negligence to intentional torts, strict liability, nuisance, occupier's liability, product liability, Québec's law of delict and limitation of actions, this invaluable volume provides a black-letter narrative of the law for everyone seeking a straightforward understanding of the subject.
