This is a welcome third edition of the standard reference text on Crown liability. While it is not the only book in the field, it remains the most comprehensive and thorough treatment of crown liability in the common law world. The third edition has expanded the study both in size and in perspective, with Professor Patrick Monahan joining Dean Peter Hogg (both of Osgoode Hall Law School) as a co-author. For the most part, the book delivers what it promises - a concise and lucid analysis of the common law and the statutory environment of Crown liability in the various federal, provincial and state jurisdictions in Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
