THIS BOOK IS THE FIRST CONSIDERED STUDY OF FINAL INJUNCTIONS IN TORT
LAW. IT DEVISES A NOVEL TAXONOMY OF SUCH INJUNCTIONS AND EXPLORES THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THE LAW ON INJUNCTIONS FOR THE WAY IN WHICH SCHOLARS
THINK ABOUT TORT LAW MORE GENERALLY.
The book begins by analysing how the injunction in aid of legal rights
came to be developed as a remedy in the Court of Chancery. It then
provides definitive guidance as to the range of final injunctions that
may be available to restrain or remedy torts. A clear, structured
framework to guide legal reasoning in injunction cases is constructed.
The book concludes by making several claims about tort law in the
light of the availability of injunctive relief.
In addition to the taxonomy that is developed, the overarching message
of the book is that injunctive relief is a central component of the
law of tort. The way in which tort law is expounded in textbooks and
monographs, and taught in universities, needs revising. Specifically,
we must not overemphasise the award of damages and neglect to
highlight the importance of the injunction. The true position is that
injunctive relief is as crucial as damages are to enforcing the rights
that are generated by tort law.
