Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Evolution from Strict Liability to Fault in the Law of Torts by Professor Anthony Gray
Watchers of tort law and its development can’t have failed to notice its drift from strict liability to fault. When and why did this occur? This is what this important book explores as well as those unintended consequences of this evolution. Ambitious in scope tracing both principles from their earliest iterations it looks at the question from a broad common law perspective. The book is a significant contribution to a debate that has long occupied scholars of private law.
