Recent decades have seen the Australian law of torts undergo a significant transformation. The statutory regimes enacted in the wake of the Ipp Report have given rise to a considerable volume of case law. At the same time, the changing economic and social landscape has thrown up fresh challenges for the law to deal with. This volume – which is a companion to the well-received Australian Contract Law in the 21st Century – brings sustained attention to a number of subjects in this sphere which merit examination.

The volume contains essays from leading commentators on the law of torts, and will be essential reading for academics, students, judges, and all practitioners involved in litigation or providing advice with respect to tort liability.
