Economic Negligence: The Recovery of Pure Economic Loss, 5th

This text draws upon the law of Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand to provide a comprehensive treatment of this area of tort law. The book is organized to deal with each well-recognized economic loss category in separate chapters, including negligent misrepresentation, negligent provision of professional services, recovery for shoddy nondangerous structures and products, relational economic loss, and negligence of statutory public authorities. This edition emphasizes Canadian law and attempts to articulate the different approaches to these categories in other jurisdictions and examines the competing judicial philosophies that account for them.
