Volume 2, Negligence, covers general principles; liability for condition and use of land; liability of persons supplying chattels for the use of others; liability of an employer of an independent contractor; the causal relation necessary to responsibility for negligence; contributory negligence; assumption of risk; negligent invasions of interests in the physical condition of land and chattels; and reckless disregard of safety. Volume 3 covers strict liability; misrepresentation; defamation; injurious falsehood; privacy; unjustifiable litigation; and interference in domestic relations. Volume 4 covers interference with advantageous economic relations; invasions of interests in land other than by trespass; miscellaneous rules; defenses applicable to all tort claims; and remedies.
