Restatement of the Law Third,

Torts: Liability for Economic Harm

This is part of the Restatement Third, Torts, series that, when complete, will supersede Restatement Second, Torts.

Part of ALI’s ongoing revision of the Restatement Second of Torts, this volume updates coverage of economic torts in the Restatement Second and addresses some topics not covered in prior Restatements. This volume deals with four principal areas of tort law: unintentional infliction of economic loss, liability for fraud, interference with economic interests, and misuse of legal procedure.
