Private Law Theory

This book asks whether the economic torts can be considered as a unified whole. Economic torts play a key role in the development of private law. The landmark case in the field, OBG v Allan, is one of the most important decisions in the entire law of torts. Any search for unity, however, is challenging. This book shows that although some juridical connections exist between some of these torts, there is far more that separates than unites them. Offering a unique perspective, this is a landmark publication on the law of economic torts.
