{"product_id":"tort-law-defences-james-goudkamp-9781849462914","title":"Tort Law Defences","description":"The law of torts recognises many defences to liability. While some of these defences have been explored in detail, scant attention has been given to the theoretical foundations of defences generally. In particular, no serious attempt has been made to explain how defences relate to each other or to the torts to which they pertain. The goal of this book is to reduce the size of this substantial gap in our understanding of tort law. The principal way in which it attempts to do so is by developing a taxonomy of defences. The book shows that much can be learned about a given defence from the way in which it is classified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book has been awarded Joint Second Prize for the 2014 Society of Legal Scholars Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Goudkamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849462917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849462914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"James Goudkamp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190868865279,"sku":"9781849462914","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2745af9-716d-446f-a261-7e5afa72626d.jpg?v=1690872811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tort-law-defences-james-goudkamp-9781849462914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
