Books in the Oxford Private Law Theory series

The notion of a civil wrong is one of the most fundamental concepts in private law. Without the concept of a civil wrong, areas of private law like tort law or property law would not be able to fulfil their aims. This volume brings together a wide variety of scholars who have written original papers exploring the centrally important notion of a civil wrong.

This essential guide to remedial law explores the distinctive legal questions raised by the use of remedies in settlements. The book outlines the general structure of remedial law and its relationship to other areas of private law.
