About this title

Synopsis

The Doctrine of Damnum Absque Injuria: Considered in Its Relation to the Law of Torts is a legal treatise written by Edward P. Weeks and published in 1879. The book explores the concept of damnum absque injuria, which is Latin for ""damage without injury."" This doctrine refers to situations where a person suffers harm or loss, but the harm is not legally recognized as an injury that can be compensated through a tort claim.Weeks examines the historical development of the doctrine and its application in various legal contexts. He argues that the doctrine has been misapplied in some cases and that it should be reinterpreted to align with the principles of justice and fairness. He also explores the relationship between damnum absque injuria and other legal doctrines, such as contributory negligence and assumption of risk.The book is written in a scholarly style and is intended for legal professionals and scholars. It provides a detailed analysis of the doctrine of damnum absque injuria and its significance in the law of torts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
