About the Book
This newly updated edition outlines for you the doctrines that are applied in third-party liability cases and analyzes the factual settings that give rise to them. In addition to describing the state of the law, you will learn argument strategies for expanding or limiting liability -- information that is not available elsewhere.
Comprehensive in scope, this convenient source:
Provides you with an introduction to third-party liability and assists you in drawing connections among cases of different types-suggesting cases for which there is little or no direct authority
Outlines the different approaches of a third-party case including the contractual argument to limit liability and the relational argument to expand liability
Gives you a clear understanding of the doctrines applied in third-party cases: privity and near-privity, third-party beneficiary, negligence, and negligent misrepresentation
Includes applications of the law in different subject areas including which doctrines are used and how they are applied
Provides you with details of the liability of different professions, including lawyers, accountants, title abstractors, appraisers, surveyors, pest inspectors, and others performing evaluative services, real estate brokers, architects, and engineers
Provides easy access to all of the relevant statutes and cases in every jurisdiction
In addition to an Index and Table of Cases, this guide contains a Table of Authorities by Jurisdiction that provides you with easy access to all of the relevant statutes and cases in your jurisdiction. In particular, this guide includes the issues you need to consider when litigating a third-party case that are outside the scope of a particular case, including national developments in your own jurisdiction involving related doctrines and other professions. Professional Liability to Third Parties, Second Edition also identifies the cited cases and points out where the cases are referred to in the book.
