The Basis Of Vicarious Liability

By Harold Joseph Laski and Harold J. Laski

Where blame meets the law. The Basis Of Vicarious Liability offers a focused vicarious liability analysis and an explication of tort law principles that remains central to debates over employer liability cases. Laski writes with compact, disciplined prose: arguments advance by logical steps rather than rhetorical flourish. The presentation is at once forensic and readable, making the work valuable as a law reference book while retaining the tone and intellectual heft of classic legal essays. Part of any thoughtful legal theory collection, it functions as both a law students resource and a legal scholars reference, guiding readers through doctrinal puzzles without sacrificing clarity. Read as a precise record of early 20th century law and an illuminating piece of British legal history, the work also informs comparative law studies and endures as a legal treatise anthology of concentrated argument. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. The edition honours the original judgement and presents the argument cleanly for contemporary reading, so casual readers curious about legal ideas find a clear and graceful entry point. Classic-literature collectors will value the care of this edition, while law libraries and researchers will keep it close as an enduring reference to jurisprudential method. Beyond immediate doctrine, the work is a document of professional style: a study in economy of thought that shows how legal argument was constructed in its era. For historians of ideas and anyone assembling a library of formative texts, its pages are instructive and quietly persuasive. Compact in argument but broad in consequence, the volume rewards successive readings and deserves a place on shelves devoted to law, history and thoughtful classics. Well worth attention for interested readers.
