Charlesworth & Percy on Negligence is the leading reference on the law of negligence and is regularly cited in court. It covers both common law and statutory responsibility.

The 14th edition builds on the success of prior editions by focusing on the substantial body of new case law that has evolved since the last edition, current legislative developments, and a completely new chapter on tortfeasor contributions.

  • Shows how common law concepts evolved and examines how the law of negligence has been implemented in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth states.
  • Explains whether a duty of care exists, between whom it occurs, and how to rapidly determine if a cause for action exists.
  • Explains what remedies are accessible, including damages, and looks at how far damages may be used as a remedy.
  • In negligence cases, the burden of evidence is explained.
  • Demonstrates the defences and releases the defendant from culpability.
  • Distinguishes between annoyance and carelessness.
  • Demonstrates the idea of standard of care in respect to individuals with a specific talent, roadways and transportation, and the employee-employer relationship.
  • This book is a must-have resource for any negligence lawsuit involving human harm, including death, property, product liability, and animal-related damage and death.
  • Defines the terms "absolute" and "strict" responsibility.
  • Includes up-to-date legislative obligations, so you'll know how to implement current modifications.
