Omissions in Tort Law

Beschreibung

This book provides a lucid, critical account of when and why a person is under a legal duty to protect others from harm, and not merely a duty not to harm. It explains the legal principles that determine when both private individuals and public authorities will be subject to liability for failures to protect from harm.
