Tort Liability for Mental Harm
Author: Emeritus Professor Peter Handford
Publisher: Lawbook Company
ISBN: 9780455238364
Category : Liability (Law)
Languages : en
Pages : 1137
Book Description
"This book unpacks in comprehensive detail every important aspect of its topic... (It) is and will remain for a long time a work of central importance on its topic in Australia and beyond." - From the Foreword, by the Honourable Robert S French, Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. This title explores the issue of tort liability for mental harm and renews the landmark work previously published as Mullany & Handford's Tort Liability Psychiatric Damage (in 1993 and 2006) It provides specialised consideration of negligence liability for what the Civil Liability Acts now refer to as mental harm, also described as 'psychiatric damage' or 'nervous shock'. It draws widely on the case law and refers in detail to the legislation across Australia to address key issues such as the kinds of mental harm for which a claim will lie, who may claim and in what circumstances. This third iteration of the title offers a comprehensive reference work covering the law in Australia. In the 21st century the law of torts in Australia has steadily diverged from other common law jurisdictions and followed an independent path. Accordingly, this edition concentrates primarily on Australian law while continuing to discuss the law in other common law jurisdictions where it is pertinent to Australian developments or when a useful contrast can be drawn.

Languages : en
Pages : 3
Book Description
In December, 1994, the New South Wales Parliament enacted the Professional Standard Act. This legislation provide a mechanism for members of professional groups to limit their liability for professional negligence. This paper documents and records the rationale and genesis of thos legislative initiative. In examining and commenting upon the first applications by professional organizations to bring their respective members under the protective umbrella of this legislation, this paper also considers its future significance for professional practice. Although the perspective is Australian, it will be relevant and of interest to professionals in practice in other jurisdictions where there are similar concern to maintain and preserve strict professional and ethical standards of practice.
