Double-weighted statement
This book of about 300 pages is the culmination of six years of research on tort law defences. It explains the concept of a tort defence, how defences relate to torts, and how best to classify defences. It shows that the way a defence is classified can exert a powerful impact on the way it is applied by the courts. The book analyses case law, legislation and academic writing from all of the major common law jurisdictions�some thousands of cases and hundreds of articles. In addition to the doctrinal material, it engages complex philosophical arguments in legal theory.
