A comprehensive and clearly written book on the law of torts in Malaysia. It includes topics which covers the syllabus for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies. The book places great emphasis on the law of torts as developed in Malaysia and also includes cases decided in Commonwealth countries. It goes through the nature and function of tort law, the rules and principles that govern it and the remedies available. The author honours the contribution of the nation's judges by putting their names in prominence and acknowledging their elevation to the higher bench. It is hoped that this book will be welcomed by the legal fraternity, especially judges, lawyers, law students and paralegals and be an assistance in their daily pursuit of justice.
