First published in 1980, McMahon and Binchy on the Law of Torts has long been a cornerstone work in Irish law. The Fifth Edition remains an essential resource for both practitioners and students.

This peerless examination of Irish tort law has been extensively revised and analyses the significance of such decisions as:

  • Cantrell v Allied Irish Banks plc [2020] IESC 71 (limitations)
  • Ruffley v Board of Management of St Anne's School [2017] IESC 33 (workplace bullying)
  • Cromane Seafoods Ltd v Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food [2016] IESC 6 (legitimate expectation)
  • Whelan v Allied Irish Banks Ltd [2014] IESC 3 (duty of care)
  • University College Cork v Electricity Supply Board [2020] IESC 38 (negligence)

Key legislation is also examined, such as:

  • Data Protection Act 2018
  • Protected Disclosures Act 2014
  • Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022
  • Personal Injuries Resolution Board Act 2022
  • Consumer Rights Act 2022
