Ratanlal and Dhirajlal's classic work on The Law of Torts is the most authoritative, well-acknowledged and comprehensive commentary on the subject. First published in 1897, this legal classic has withstood the test of time and served the legal profession, and everyone associated with it for over a century. Its appeal has not withered but has only grown with the passage of time. For more than 29 years this subject was elucidated and expounded by Late Justice GP Singh whose simple and lucid way of writing made it useful not only for judges, lawyers and law students but also to person from fields other than law. The current edition of this leading commentary includes the latest case law both national and International as well as the relevant legislative developments introduced since the last publication. Latest judgments dealing with constitutional torts, developments in principles of vicarious liability, negligence, nuisance etc. have been elaborately discussed. Judgments pertaining to arbitrability of tortious disputes and judicial forums for seeking tortious remedies are also included in this edition. This book will be an invaluable reference for students, judges, lawyers and law firms specializing in civil, criminal, consumer and environment laws.
