Description
Business torts and unfair competition practices generally focus on conduct that causes pure economic loss (rather than personal injury or property damage). Both areas form the core of a typical commercial litigation practice, and both reflect the type of conduct that society considers permissible (and impermissible) in a business context. Written in a clear and informative style, and full of examples and illustrations, this book examines the legal rules and doctrines associated with various business torts and unfair competition practices. Reading this book will provide you with a solid grounding in the law of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with existing and prospective contract, breach of fiduciary duty, the economic loss rule, deceptive marketing, commercial disparagement, misappropriation, trade secrets, and trademark infringement.
