A comprehensive analysis of liability for animals, this book covers harm done by
dangerous and straying animals including both dangerous and non-dangerous
species. Including a separate chapter on special provisions relating to dogs it
provides unique guidance from an internationally renowned legal scholar. The
book takes account of the decisions of the courts which have applied,
interpreted and explained the Animals Act 1971 over the past four decades
including the House of Lords decision in Mirvahedy v Henley (2003).
Liability for animals which are not members of a dangerous species but which, in
the event, may have been proved to be dangerous is a matter of particular
interest
