Torts on Three Continents

Abstract This book celebrates and honours Jane Stapleton’s scholarship on tort law, on the occasion of her retirement as Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge. The contributions range widely across the major themes—and continents—of the honorand’s legal scholarship. Thus, there are chapters on product liability, the nature of damage, negligence liability for pure economic loss and psychiatric harm, the duty of care, theories of tort law, vulnerability in tort, and compensation schemes. There are also three chapters on causation in law. The chapters form a tribute to Jane Stapleton’s lasting influence. Their authors include tort scholars from Australia, England, and the United States, plus judges from the High Court of Australia and the UK Supreme Court. That court’s president, Lord Reed, contributes the preface.
