England's Splendid Isolation.

What is it about?

As part of a comparative exercise looking at when, how and why tort and crime interact in eight different legal systems, this chapter (co-authored with Matthew Dyson) examines how English law differentiates between tort and crime, compares how lawyers reason and argue in these fields, considers to what extent the rules on capacity, consent, fault, causation, secondary liability and defences are the same in each field, and compares how the rules of procedure operate in each area.
