Bringing Clarity to a Confusing Area of Tort Law

 

Finally, a book that helps to clarify an often confusing and misunderstood area of law. 

 

This legal treatise provides a comprehensive review of the law of public and private nuisance and strict liability as applied and articulated in Canadian cases.

 

The authors have found in their research that even though the law of nuisance can be difficult to navigate, with each case being judged in its own context, there “are many common threads and basic statements of principle that do act as milestones and beacons.” Gregory Pun and Margaret Hall have used these basic guiding principles, as found in current Canadian law, to help illuminate the way for others.
