Economic Negligence

This text draws upon the law of Canada, the 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 - negligent misrepresentation - negligent provision of professional services - recovery for shoddy non-dangerous structures and products - relational economic loss - negligence of statutory public authorities. This edition emphasizes Canadian law and attempts to articulate the different approaches to these categories in each of the other jurisdictions and to ex¬amine the competing judicial philosophies that account for them. The fifth edition of this respected text is the only work devoted exclusively to claims for economic loss in Canada. This text offers practitioners a valuable reference source for understanding the complex issues surrounding claims for economic loss in each of the recognized categories.
