Canada's Most Frequently Cited Treatise on Tort Law
When Canadian Tort Law was first published in 1972, it became the first treatise on the law of torts in Canada. The twelfth edition continues the standard of excellence achieved by each previous edition. As the treatise most commonly cited by the Supreme Court of Canada and other Canadian courts, Canadian Tort Law has greatly influenced the development of tort law in Canada.
The text has been updated and in places substantially re-written to reflect changes in tort law in the past few years. In addition to long-time author Bruce Feldthusen, Erik Knutsen, Margaret Hall and Hilary Young have returned for this edition. They bring expertise in particular on causation, nuisance and defamation. Coverage includes:
What's New In This Edition

- Consideration of Livent's influence beyond misrepresentation, especially with the clear adoption of the rights-based approach in Maple Leaf Foods
- Analysis of the preference expressed in Maple Leaf Food for contractual loss allocation over negligence law, and the apparent over-ruling of Winnipeg Condominium in the same case
