The evolution of tort law over the past few years has brought interesting developments in Canada, and in the common law world generally. New cases on cause in fact, wrongful birth, nonfeasance, and strict liability are some of the features that students will appreciate in Professor Weinrib’s third edition of Tort Law: Cases and Materials. Carefully excerpted, and supported with insightful commentary, this casebook is sure to facilitate lively teaching and stimulate classroom debate.

Providing students with a solid foundation of tort analysis and an understanding of the role of legal reasoning and other key issues (both juridical and institutional) as they relate to tort law, this new edition is suitable for first year students and is an essential resource for faculty.
