Australian Civil Liability Guide 7th Edition
The Australian Civil Liability Guide 7th Edition is a product of the continual evolution of previous publications by Carter Newell Lawyers.
The guide addresses legislative and case law developments relevant to civil liability federally and in all Australian States and Territories since the reform process began in 2002.
Justice Ipp writes:
“…Carter Newell Lawyers are to be commended for their publication of the Australian Civil Liability Guide, now in its 6th edition…one of the most time-consuming problems for lawyers who have to grapple with the subtleties of the legislation involved is the difficulty in finding relevant material…the time and trouble that has been taken in the production of the guide is obvious. Its quality as a reference work speaks for itself. It is an extremely helpful tool for any tort lawyer, whether practitioner or academic and for any person who is interested in the changes to Australian tort law that have occurred since 2002.”
