Judicial analysis and application of major changes to the UEL following ALRC Report 102, such as to the "fresh in the memory" test and limitations on the "Longman warning";
Detailed consideration of the ongoing question of when a witness may be said to "object" to giving evidence on the basis of potential self-incrimination;
Decisions concerning the circumstances in which privilege may be lost;

Torts: Commentary and Materials is one of the leading Torts casebooks in Australia. The text provides expert commentary on carefully selected cases and materials from each core area of tort law. Considerable emphasis is placed on the choice of foundational cases as well as on the use of topical examples and questions.

The eleventh edition has been substantially rewritten and reworked to streamline and structure content to reflect the subject as taught in the majority of Australian Universities, in particular to reflect the modern role of tort within legal structures including constitutional torts and torts protecting human rights. Each chapter has been carefully revised to increase clarity. The Introductory context chapter has been revised to further emphasise the theoretical basis of liability in torts and the Part covering Intentional Torts has been substantially revised and restructured to better reflect the status of particular torts and their relationship to other torts and includes modern and illustrative examples and questions designed to fully engage and provoke critical analysis. The chapters on the duty of care have been revised to better reflect the modern structure of the forms of argument used in various categories of negligence, making the work more accessible to students without sacrificing the complexity and detail of this important area of law.

Of particular note in this new edition:
� discussion of the Civil Liability Acts has been fully integrated and expertly woven within the text to provide a valuable insight into the interplay between the legislation and common law principles;
� there is an increased emphasis on statutory interpretation, to aid the understanding and application of the Civil Liability Acts;
� the Damages chapter (in relation to Causation and Remoteness) has been insightfully updated and reviewed and captures the approach adopted under the civil liability legislation with reference to the most recent authorities.

The authors of the new edition are four highly regarded scholars of tort law in Australia. They bring to the text the passion and wisdom from many years of learning and teaching in Australian tort law.

Torts: Commentary and Materials, 11th Edition, is the ideal work to provide students and professionals with a solid and broad understanding of this dynamic area of law.

The third edition of Work Health and Safety Law and Policy continues to provide a plain English approach to explaining and analysing the law which regulates work health and safety in Australia. Providing broad coverage, this book focuses on the role that legal regulation plays in preventing work-related injury and disease, as well as the way in which the law contributes to rehabilitating and compensating injured and ill workers.

This third edition focuses on the national model Work Health and Safety Bill 2009. The provisions of the model Bill are outlined, along with court decisions and other documentation that help interpret the provisions in new legislation enacting the model Bill. There is also a chapter in the book examining the national model Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011, and model codes of practice. The book includes three chapters on common law, statutory workers' compensation provisions and rehabilitation. Tables summarising the key legal provisions of the major Australian Commonwealth, State and Territory workers' compensation statutes have been updated and give quick and easy reference to points of legislation. The book also covers legal instruments outside of the work health and safety and workers' compensation statutes that are relevant to understanding work health and safety law and policy.

This important book considers these legal principles in their many contexts � historical, social, political and economic � and encourages readers to apply legislation and case law in a variety of ways. This approach supports an understanding of the subject as an evolving regulatory response to complex social processes and policy concerns, rather than as a fixed set of rules.

In the third edition of this well-established work, principal author Professor Richard Johnstone has been joined by leading work health and safety scholar Dr Elizabeth Bluff and workers' compensation expert Associate Professor Alan Clayton.

Homicide � The Laws of Australia is an accessible and innovative text which uses a principles-based approach to analyse the central concepts of the law of homicide in all States and Territories, comparing their application at common law and under the Criminal Codes. Using the latest cases and legislation, this book comprehensively covers the categories of murder, manslaughter and statutory formulations, with discussion on the following topics:

� General Principles
� Homicide � Conduct Elements
� Murder � Mental Element
� Constructive Murder
� Partial Defences to Murder
� Manslaughter
� Procedural Matters and Punishment

This unique work distills and clarifies the key areas of conduct and mental elements for unlawful killings, criminal responsibility for omissions and situations where a homicide may be justified or excused. In particular, this text examines the operation of partial defences to murder, including diminished responsibility or substantial impairment, excessive self-defence, infanticide and the often difficult area of provocation. Substantial consideration is also given to imputed intent in the form of constructive murder, and the diversity of offences falling within the scope of unlawful and dangerous act manslaughter and negligent manslaughter, as well as procedural matters including jury directions on alternative verdicts and punishment.

Author Professor Paul Ames Fairall was recently appointed as Foundation Dean of Law at Curtin University, and served previously as Foundation Dean of Law at the University of South Australia, where the majority of this work was completed. He also served as Dean of Law at James Cook University and at the University of Adelaide, where he held the John Bray Chair of Law. Professor Fairall has provided an eminently useful research tool for practitioners and students alike, which reviews developments in the changing statutory framework as courts and legislatures respond to challenges in this fundamental area of the criminal law.

This material is also published as part of Title 10 "Criminal Offences" of The Laws of Australia legal encyclopaedia.
