When Canadian Tort Law was first published in 1972, it became the first treatise on the law of torts in Canada. The twelfth edition continues the standard of excellence achieved by each previous edition. As the treatise most commonly cited by the Supreme Court of Canada and other Canadian courts, Canadian Tort Law has greatly influenced the development of tort law in Canada.
The text has been updated and in places substantially re-written to reflect changes in tort law in the past few years. In addition to long-time author Bruce Feldthusen, Erik Knutsen, Margaret Hall and Hilary Young have all returend for this new edition.
