ABSTRACT

Each Routledge-Cavendish Q&A contains 50 questions on topics commonly found on exam papers, with comprehensive suggested answers. The titles are written by lecturers who are also examiners, so the student gains an important insight into exactly what examiners are looking for in an answer. This makes them excellent revision and practice guides.

This new edition contains five new questions and answers which incorporate the most recent decisions and statute law on a whole range of tort law topics, including Human rights; Negligence; Statutory powers; Privacy and the Compensation Act 2006.

Demonstrating to candidates how to translate knowledge into answers that will attract high grades in examinations, it is especially useful for the undergraduate law student who is in the process of preparing for examinations.
