Government Liability: Tension Between the Legislature and the Courts

Stephen Ross, Andrew Yolles, and Natalia Sheikh have written a detailed paper called “Government Liability: Tension Between the Legislature and the Courts“. It addresses the following issues:

• History of Crown Liability;
• Jurisdiction & Framework for Statutory Causes of Action Against Government Entities;
• Private Law Duty of Care;
• Enactment of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act; and
• Early Interpretation of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act

The paper is a very helpful resource for those bringing and defending claims against the Crown.
