A. Textbook
Suggested Readings:
Nevertheless, the text provides the basic reading for the course only. There
is much more to the Tort law than this, and you will undoubtedly benefit
from undertaking some reading and study of your own. It is creditable if
you, in respect of the proper use of independent research and study, follow
up in the Law Library some of the case references, periodical articles or
other material referred to in the prime textbook or in class – or even to do
some research of your own. For supplementary reading, you could, for
instance, begin by consulting the relevant sections of the “alternative” texts
placed on loan in the law library. Thereafter you could engage in your own
research, with particular reference to journals on online databases including
SCC Online, LexisNexis, Manupatra, WestLaw India, HeinOnline,
JSTOR, ProQuest, Kluwer Database (Kluwer Arbitration, Kluwer
Patent, and Kluwer Competition), CLAOnline, Ebrary, Emerald &
EBSCO, and offline database including AIR.
5. ASSESSMENT:
