This is the only complete encyclopedia of causes of action in Virginia. It is your one source for a complete survey of all the recognized claims — and defenses — viable under Virginia law.
Claims at law and under equitable principles are presented in clear and authoritative fashion, with the logical elements highlighted and exemplified in extensive notes detailing the most recent cases regarding each of the recognized claims in Virginia law.
A range of strategic issues is set forth at the outset of the volumes applicable to all causes of action. Then the tort claims recognized in the Commonwealth are presented in logical order — with the necessary elements of each form of claim clearly highlighted and numbered, followed by a discussion of each of the required elements, and the defenses to consider in each instance.
All the prominent contract causes of action, and the limitations of each, are clearly set forth in Part Three, with illustrative cases.
Each of the recognized Equitable Claims and defenses viable in Virginia are discussed separately — then compared — in part Four.
Part Five of the treatise provides a complete survey of the property-related forms of claims (and defenses) recognized in Virginia today, collecting the interpretations placed on these forms of action by the appellate courts.
Part Six arrays the Virginia claims, and an outline of the federal counterparts, for consumer-related causes of action, while Part Seven discusses each of the three “Extraordinary Writs” that are applicable in Virginia today.
