Description

Thomsons's Delictual Liability, seventh edition, is a highly respected account of the principles of delict in Scots law and is the standard introductory textbook on the subject.

The seventh edition of this popular text has been updated throughout and provides a clear and straightforward guide through this difficult area of Scots Law.

The authors have retained the style of the book but have made some structural changes to make it more relevant to the LLB course and more appealing for the current LLB student. The authors have updated chapters to include some important recent case law including McCallum v Morrison regarding assault; Paterson v Lanarkshire Heath Board regarding medical professional liability and McDonald v Indigo Sun Retail regarding employers liability. They have also deleted two chapters and distributed the relevant content more appropriately and have written a new chapter on Prescription and Limitation to more closely follow the LLB course.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scots Law Library, Scottish Law Service and Scottish Student Service online services.
