Book excerpt: This popular book provides clear and accessible explanation and interpretation of the current law across the field of negligence. It aims to provide a fresh and critical exposition that, whilst comprehensive, gives particular emphasis to the contemporary scene. It draws upon recent cases and judicial pronouncements and includes references to case law from jurisdictions outside the UK. Professional negligence is covered in detail as it is a rapidly growing area of law.The law of negligence touches on many areas of professional practice, and is increasingly complex and a growing area of business for solicitors. Consumers are successfully claiming large sums of compensation from healthcare providers, tobacco manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and each other, all of whom are deemed to have caused harm through neglecting to take due care e.g. through causing accidents, causing or aggravating illnesses, or failing to properly test products or make consumers aware of risk.Negligence is also a big topic for those dealing with medical and personal injury law, employment law, consumer law, licensing - and this thorough exposition of the subject is an essential addition to the library of any solicitor's firm.The Law of Negligence was amalgamated with the Law of Nuisance in 2005 so combines commentary on the correlated laws of nuisance and negligence. It is designed to provide practitioners and academics with a clear and accessible explanation and interpretation of all significant judicial pronouncements and legislation across the field of negligence.Development in negligenceMajor House of Lords' (Now Supreme Court) decisions:* Basic duty of care issues in Sutradhar v.

Although this is consistent with much modern judicial and academic commentary, which favours an integrated approach to the two torts, other negligence works on the market do not, on the whole, provide comprehensive coverage of nuisance cases.* Corby Group Litigation, a decision of the Court of Appeal in which the Court cited The Law of Negligence (see [2008] EWCA Civ 463 at [23] per Dyson LJ)* Dobson v. Thames Water Utilities on the relationship between the common law of nuisance and the Human Rights Act,* Watson v. Croft Promosport Ltd on judicial discretion with respect to remedies in nuisance cases* An important decision on vicarious liability in situations involving special hazard was handed down in Biffa Waste Service Ltd v.

Download or read book The Uses of Discretion written by Keith Hawkins and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1994 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discretion is a pervasive phenomenon in legal systems. It is of concern to lawyers because it can be a force for justice or injustice: at once a means of advancing the broad purposes of law and of subventing them. For social scientists the discretion exercised by legal actors is animportant form of decision-making behaviour, in which legal rules are merely one force in a field of pressures and constraints that push towards certain courses of action or inaction. This book presents a variety of analyses of legal discretion by lawyers and social scientists (drawn from bothsides of the Atlantic), who have made discretion and its uses a central part of their scholarly concerns.
