Torts Law Books: Statutory Liability | sku-817661420

Tortious Liability of Statutory Bodies is a Torts Law Books title listed as sku-817661420. The study examines 5 leading English cases, including Stovin V. Wise, X v. Bedfordshire and Barrett v. Enfield London Borough Council. It compares English courts' approach to statutory bodies' tort liability with decisions in factually equivalent cases in Germany and France.

It questions the policy and economic arguments behind the broad rule of non-liability adopted after HILL, in light of the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights decision in Osman v. UK. Written by two English academics from Foxford and Cambridge Universities with two authorities from the Universities of Paris and Munich, it is intended for judges, practitioners, academics and students interested in public law, human rights, comparative methodology and tort law.
