From the description:

 

Introduction to the Canadian Law of Torts, 4th Edition explores all of the main areas of the law of torts. The first six chapters examine the important core concepts: the nature of torts, the possible parties to a tort action, vicarious liability, issues raised by multiple wrongdoers, possible remedies and the termination of liability.

The book moves on to discuss many specific causes of action including trespass, nuisance, strict liability, negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy, malicious prosecution, misfeasance in public office, deceit, passing off, conspiracy, intimidation, inducing breach of contract and the unlawful means tort.

Introduction to the Canadian Law of Torts, 4th Edition been thoroughly updated to reflect changes and developments in the law since the publication of the third edition in 2012. It covers all of the important judicial decisions and statutes relating to tort law.
