This book is the first in a series of essay collections on defences in private law. It addresses defences to liability arising in tort. The essays range from those adopting a primarily doctrinal approach to others that examine the law from a more theoretical or historical perspective. Some essays focus on individual defences, while some are concerned with the links between defences, or with how defences relate to the structure of tort law as a whole. A number of the essays also draw upon concepts and literature that have been developed mainly in relation to the criminal law, and consider their application to tort law. The essays make several original contributions to this complex, important but neglected field of academic enquiry.

Defences in Tort

This book is the third in a series of essay collections on defences in private law. It addresses defences to liability arising in contract. The essays range from those adopting a predominantly black-letter approach to others that examine the law from a more theoretical or historical perspective. Some essays focus on individual defences, while others are concerned with the links between defences, or with how defences relate to the structure of contract law generally. One goal of the book is to determine what light can be shed on contract law doctrines by analysing them through the lens of defences. The contributors – judges and academics – are all leading jurists. The essays are addressed to all of the major common law jurisdictions.

The most common cause of mortality and serious morbidity due to anaesthesia is from problems with the patient's airway. The fibreoptic intubating scope gives the competent practitioner an unparalleled opportunity to secure almost any difficult airway encountered. Recent studies have also proved that it is a safe and reliable technique and it has been recommended as an important part of the armory of the modern anaesthetist. With the aid of a free CD-ROM, containing full motion video clips of some of the techniques involved and real-time views from the scope itself, Fibreoptic Intubation provides a clear and practically-orientated introduction to the equipment involved, before going on to describe the main indications for fibreoptic intubation and the variety of skills needed to make full use of the technique. A chapter on teaching the technique will be useful not only for beginners but also for their teachers. It is an essential reading for anaesthetists of all grades.
