Economic Torts and Economic Wrongs
About this book
This book explores contemporary issues in respect of causes of action which operate to protect a plaintiff's economic interests. It examines the question from across the spectrum of private law. Focusing mainly on common law principles, it looks in particular at the treatment of such causes of action in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Singapore as well as other common law jurisdictions. Addressing both theoretical and doctrinal issues, this important book will appeal to both private law scholars and practitioners.
