An assemblage of the lives and stories of several homeless people. There's Valentine from Cameroon whose grandfather taught him how to catch mermaids; Pinky who was eight in the 1976 riots; Gert the horse thief who never attends a meeting but whose stories make a big impression on the group; Virginia the actress with the narrow bed; Patrick the cartoonist who is forced to eat live birds; Fresew the Ethiopian chemist; Steven the ex-boxer who can change the colour of a cow; Robert who explains how to remove tattoos with condensed milk; and Sipho the much-loved poet who lives in a drain under the city and who goes missing. This title is full of stories of struggle and triumph.

New to Hart Publishing, this is the seventh edition of the classic casebook on tort, the first of its kind in the UK, and for many years now a bestselling and very popular text for students. This new edition retains all the features that have made it such a popular and respected text, with extensive commentary, questions and notes supplementing the selection of cases and statutes which form the core of the book. Taking a broadly contextual approach, the book addresses all the main topics in tort law, is up-to-date, doctrinally sound, stimulating and highly readable.

Cases and Materials

Hepple and Matthews' Tort Law

Critically examines moral-promissory, economic and socio-legal perspectives on contract law, arguing that it should be formal and minimalistic by design.

A Formalist Restatement of Commercial Contract Law

Contract Law Minimalism

Great Debates in Contract Law

Commercial contract law is in every sense optional given the choice between legal systems and law and arbitration. Its 'doctrines' are in fact virtually all default rules. Contract Law Minimalism advances the thesis that commercial parties prefer a minimalist law that sets out to enforce what they have decided - but does nothing else. The limited capacity of the legal process is the key to this 'minimalist' stance. This book considers evidence that such minimalism is indeed what commercial parties choose to govern their transactions. It critically engages with alternative schools of thought, that call for active regulation of contracts to promote either economic efficiency or the trust and co-operation necessary for 'relational contracting'. The book also necessarily argues against the view that private law should be understood non-instrumentally (whether through promissory morality, corrective justice, taxonomic rationality, or otherwise). It sketches a restatement of English contract law in line with the thesis.
