ANNOTATED CIVIL LIABILITY LEGISLATION: QUEENSLAND, 3RD EDITION is the essential companion for practitioners engaged in the conduct of negligence claims, whether in a commercial or personal injury context. This well-renowned title is a unique and practical guide to the interpretation and application of the Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld). The publication of this 3rd edition coincides with the 10 year anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld), one of the most important pieces of legislation in Queensland's recent history. Annotated Civil Liability Legislation Queensland has been updated to include comprehensive treatment of the proportionate liability provisions of the Act, which have changed the face of the conduct of commercial and property damage claims arising in claims for negligence and statutory misleading or deceptive conduct. It also contains cross-references to the cognate provisions of the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld), which from 1 July 2010 largely adopted the Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld) provisions. The well-defined annotated format of this text affords practitioners commencement and application information, expert commentary by reference to case law and journal treatment, together with cross-referencing to interstate and federal analogues.
