Tort Law Directions (9th Edition)

Tort Law Directions is a clear introduction to the English law of tort for students meeting the subject for the first time. Carol Brennan sets each topic in context with scene-setting introductions and highlighted case extracts, so the practical weight of the law is easy to see, and she flags the areas where the law is open to debate.

Learning and self-testing features in each chapter help readers check their understanding and prepare for assessment, and pointers at the end show where to take their reading next. Oxford University Press’s 2026 digital update to the ninth edition brings in recent cases on omissions, causation and psychiatric injury, including the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling in Armstead v Royal & Sun Alliance on who must prove that damage is too remote.
