Synopsis

Now in its ninth edition, Atiyah's Accidents, Compensation and the Law explores the recent and continuous developments in personal injury law by applying social context to the relevant legal principles. Those principles remain in need of radical reform. Updates to the text include discussion of the major changes to the way compensation is calculated and claimed, evolving funding arrangements for personal injury litigation, and dramatic shifts in the claims management industry. Suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in tort law, this new edition balances theory, practice and context. It draws on new legislation, research and case law to offer the reader thought-provoking examples and analysis.

About this title

Book Description:

Atiyah's Accidents, Compensation and the Law is the only book written in a Commonwealth jurisdiction that examines the accident compensation system in its broader social context. It provides the reader with a significantly richer understanding of the relevant law than they would obtain from books that concentrate on just the legal principles.

About the Author:

James Goudkamp is Professor of the Law of Obligations at the University of Oxford.
