Understand who is responsible when a workplace injury occurs and why. This practical, lawyer-guided reference explains the law of master liability and the doctrine of common employment, with clear notes on how injuries are treated under common law and the Employers’ Liability Act of 1880. It helps professionals, students, and employers grasp the rules that govern responsibility for workers’ injuries and the legal tests used to prove negligence.
The book presents the core principles in accessible language, tracing when a master can be held liable, what risks workers contract to take, and how fellow servants affect a case. It combines core law with concise commentary, making the material usable at practice level without requiring extensive legal background.
What you will learn:
- The doctrine of common employment and how it shifts liability
- When a master may be liable for a worker’s injury and when he must disclose risks
- How the Act changes liability and the defenses employers may rely on
- How these rules apply to real-world scenarios, including warning duties and supervision
Ideal for law students, paralegals, and practicing counsel, as well as managers who want a solid grounding in workplace fault and compensation concepts.

Excerpt from The Principles of Wealth Distribution
In the following work I do not propose to nicely enquire into any theoretical or idealistic society. My sole object is to show that, without depriving a man of a penny that the present state of society permits him to call his own, we can solve the problem of our unemployed and underpaid simply by utilising their powers instead of allowing them to run to waste. Other systems of social communities may be better than our present one. With these I do not deal. I simply intend to prove that in our present conditions, bad or good as they may be, it is possible for all to be prosperous and happy. This I shall show is to be attained not by any violent change at all, but simply by taking advantage of our opportunities, by using method, and organising our resources.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the widening gap between rich and poor in the wake of industrial progress. In the authorâs view, the Industrial Revolutionâs productivity gains have primarily been captured by the few, resulting in a decline in the working classâs quality of life and a fierce Darwinian struggle for survival among the working class. The author argues that this problem is caused by unchecked competition and a lack of government intervention. This text serves as a call to action for reforming wealth distribution to ensure a fairer share of societyâs productivity gains for all its members.
