Books by Peter (Australian National University Cane

Atiyah's Accidents, Compensation and the Law is the only book written in a Commonwealth jurisdiction that examines the accident compensation system in its broader social context. It provides the reader with a significantly richer understanding of the relevant law than they would obtain from books that concentrate on just the legal principles.

By applying social-scientific and historical methods, Peter Cane provides an original and comprehensive comparative account of the legal control of administrative power in England, the USA and Australia that combines a strong thematic and systemic overview with close attention to legal detail.
