Opis: Intentional Tort Litigation in Australia - Peter O'Brien, Corrie Goodhand

Intentional Tort Litigation in Australia considers the high frequency intentional torts of assault, battery, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution throughout Australia. It provides an analysis of the elements of each tort and commentary. The authors consider practical matters necessary in determining whether a claim may be brought; if so, how and against whom; what potential damages, or limitation of damages, may exist; possible defences at common law or arising under statute; and relevant issues that arise in obtaining and using documents in these proceedings. The book is a useful foundation and practical guide for lawyers conducting intentional tort litigation. It will also assist students in understanding the fundamental legal principles relating to these torts and their practical application. Intentional Tort Litigation in Australia fills a gap in the literature for practitioners working in the field by providing a unique amalgamation of procedural and substantive requirements for commencing and defending proceedings. As a perusal of the most helpful discussion of examples of successful and unsuccessful attempts to bring intentional tort litigation reveals that litigation is not all that frequent in the area, it is perhaps unsurprising that the general textbooks tend not to devote a substantial amount of space to the topics covered by this book. Practitioners will no doubt find useful the meticulously prepared chapters on bringing proceedings against government officers, limitation periods, and defences/statutory regimes, all of which carefully differentiate between the States and Territories. It is a very useful reference tool, particularly for those unfamiliar with the area or the particular jurisdiction in which they find themselves. - Queensland Law Reporter - 4 December 2015 - [2015] 47 QLRForeword by The Hon Dean Mildren AM RFD QC Formerly a Judge of the Supreme Court of the Northern TerritoryPrefaceAbout the authorsTable of CasesTable of Statutes 1.
