The sixth edition of The Law of Torts in New Zealand maintains and builds upon the exemplary standards set by earlier editions.
The book (commonly known as Todd on Torts) takes a wide and all-embracing approach to tort law, assessing the relevant rules and principles in the light of their objectives and likely consequences and giving close attention to the policies underlying the law. This new edition incorporates all recent developments in New Zealand and the wider common law world.
The Law of Torts in New Zealand is the definitive tort work for law students and practitioners. Its authoritative reputation is demonstrated by the fact that, by a substantial margin, it is the book that is most frequently cited in decisions of the New Zealand courts.
