The Doctrine Of Damnum Absque Injuria: Considered In Its Relation To The Law Of Torts (1879)

The Doctrine of Damnum Absque Injuria: Considered in its Relation to the Law of Torts (1879) is a legal text written by Edward P. Weeks. The book explores the concept of damnum absque injuria, which is Latin for ""loss without injury."" This doctrine refers to situations in which a person suffers a loss or damage, but there is no legal remedy available for them because no wrongful act has been committed. Weeks examines the historical development of the doctrine and its application in various legal contexts, particularly in tort law. He argues that the doctrine has been misunderstood and misapplied in many cases, leading to unjust outcomes. The book also discusses the limitations of the doctrine and proposes alternative approaches to address situations in which a person suffers a loss without a corresponding injury. Overall, The Doctrine of Damnum Absque Injuria provides a comprehensive analysis of a complex legal concept and its implications for tort law. The book is intended for legal scholars and practitioners, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of legal doctrines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
