Description
The present fourth edition of this popular volume is a simple and lucid presentation of various topics on the tort law that fall under General Principles, Specific Torts, Statutory Compensation and the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Dr. Gandhi has enriched the work by inclusion of up-to- date case law and latest material on the subject. Recent landmark cases such as Govindbhai Jakhubhai case, Pallavan Transport case, Maksud Saiyed case, Prabhakaran case and a number of other cases have been included. New developments and fresh thinking on the subject such as the new concept of tort law as developed by McBride and Bagshaw have been discussed. Discussion about judicial activism and human rights also appears at appropriate places. A chapter on 'Inchoate Torts' discusses and explains the new situations which lie on the borderline of tort and contract, resulting in tort. The book comprehensively covers the syllabus as prescribed by the Bar Council of India and as taught in various universities throughout India. It will not only be helpful to the students of the law, but also useful to the Bench, the Bar and the authorities under the law.
