This is the eagerly awaited new edition of Law of Torts, the complete Irish tort law reference book. For this, the contents have been extensively revised since the last edition was published in 2000. Key developments are detailed and relevant recent case law is examined. This book is essential for both legal practitioners and people studying Irish law. Recent important legislation examined in the book includes: Criminal Law (Defence and the Dwelling) Act 2011, Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011, Defamation Act 2009, Consumer Protection Act 2007, Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 and Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003. Key developments and case law are examined in areas such as pure economic loss, limitations and purchase of financial products, vicarious liability for sexual assaults, damages, privacy, defamation, psychiatric injury, liability of public authorities, employers' liability, professional negligence, defective buildings and products and occupiers' liability. First published in 1980, Law of Torts has long been a cornerstone work in Irish law, indeed in the foreword to the first edition Judge Brian Walshe noted that the book represented a challenge to the 'unquestioned assumption that English text-books would satisfy all needs.' This new addition will only add to the book's long-established merit and value.

Have you ever wanted to know about the law in Ireland but every time you picked up any textbooks or even articles you were completely put off by the terminology and feeling that you would have to learn a whole new language just to be able to read it, let alone understand it.? Well look no further; my books are compiled so that all of the terminology, rules and principles are explained in plain English, leaving you to enjoy learning about the law in Ireland without the headache of terminology and confounding principles. The Law of Tort A tort is a civil wrong, tort is a French word for wrong, or the Latin word (tortum or twisted), a tort occurs when a person commits a civil wrong against another person causing them damage. Tortfeasor is the person who commits the tort. Under tort law, an injured party can bring a civil case to seek compensation for a wrong done to the party or the party's property. Simply put, the law of tort is a branch of law which helps people to make a claim for compensation "usually a money payment" from another person who hurts them or their property. For instance, when one driver hurts another driver because he or she was not paying attention "negligent," the driver who caused the hurt "defendant" may have committed a tort. If a person "plaintiff" is hurt by another person "defendant" they may be able to sue them "civil litigation" and get compensation "usually money." Most torts are accidents, like car accidents or slippery floors where people can fall down and get hurt. But some torts are done on purpose. These are called intentional torts. For example, if one person punches another person, this could be an intentional tort called battery. Most torts cause physical harm to people, however, some torts cause damage to property, like a broken window "trespass to property." Some torts can harm other things, like someone's reputation or a business. "defamation"

This Introduction to Irish law booklet is a handy little number, it is compiled so that the most difficult and challenging terminology, rules and principles are explained, leaving you to enjoy learning about the law in Ireland without the headache of first learning terminology and confounding principles. Torts are wrongdoings; done by one person against another. When one person wrongs another, the injured person may take civil action against the other person. In plain English, let's say while walking down the fruit and veg aisle of your local supermarket, you slip on a grape that had fallen from the shelf and injure yourself. You become the plaintiff, or injured party, and the supermarket is considered the tortfeasor or defendant, they are defined as the negligent party. When this happens you can take civil action against the supermarket to claim compensation for pain, suffering, medical bills and expenses incurred as a result of the fall. Negligence is just one tort category. This booklet will go through all of the different types. This basic introductory booklet is just that, a layman's guide, it is not meant to be an academic text book, it is merely a guide, however, saying that, many first year law students on the CPA, ATI and ACCA courses as well as year one legal proactive and LLB students find it invaluable as it introduces all the rules and principles in plain English and they can then get on with the important task of learning the terminology once they come to grasps with the principles. There is a self-test MCQ at the end of the book AND answers. **Warning; another disclaimer ** This booklet has at its core, terminology which is aimed at a novice, it has some terminology explained in plain English in brackets (like this) and explanations of core rules and principles (at the end of paragraphs), it has icons and also humorous pictures (to remove the staunchness of legal reading), and at the end it has some court humour excerpts and the lighter side of law, a look at some old, strange and by modern standards, weird laws, if you don't want to see these when you are reading your legal book, probably best for you not to buy/read this one Contents The Law of Tort Types of Tort Intentional Torts Trespass to the person Threats Silent phone calls Trespass torts in medicine Defences to the tort of trespass Consent Self-defence Defence of Third Persons Lawful Authority Defence of Property Duress (pressure or threat) Trespass to Land Trespass to Goods Conversion Sample conversion Chose in Action (Intangible Property - Transferable by assignment) Trespass to Goods - Detinue Nuisance Private Nuisance Locus Standi Omissions Damage or Interference Material Damage Interference with enjoyment Magnitude of harm Nature of locality Defendant's motives Social utility Defences to Private Nuisance Remedies Injunctions Public Nuisance: Pure Economic Loss Remedies Damages Injunctions Private Rented Tenants: Local Authority Tenants: Private Homeowner: Alarms Passing Off Elements of Passing off Defamation Defences to Defamation.
