This book provides law students in the Caribbean with a basic text on torts accompanied by extracts from West Indian cases and the most important statutory provisions. Emphasis is placed on those topics which are most commonly litigated in the West Indies, such as negligence, nuisance, defamation, trespass to the person, employers liability and passing off. Although primarily conceived as a text for students reading for the LLB degree in the West Indies, practitioners will find the book useful, since it brings to light many unreported judgments which would otherwise be unavailable. The book will also be useful for postgraduate students requiring materials for their research in comparative law of torts.
