Francis McManus provides a critical and comprehensive account of the development of the modern law of negligence, arguably the most important, and indeed, the most litigated area of the law of delict. McManus discusses the leading cases on the subject and reviews the relevant literature.

Whilst the book concentrates on the law of Scotland, McManus also explores how certain areas of the law have developed in Commonwealth countries. Coverage spans the duty of care (including liability for omissions, negligent misstatements, pure economic loss, and psychiatric harm), the breach of the duty of care, factual causation and legal causation.

​​​​​​​This is essential reading for anyone interested in this rapidly expanding and challenging area of law, whether as a practitioner, academic or student.
