Peter Cane set himself an enormous challenge in The Anatomy of Tort Law to move our understanding of tort law beyond the original formulae that had been used to describe that liability (in some cases, for centuries). Although he failed in this endeavour, he failed magnificently. His many invaluable insights into the law of torts remain at the forefront of both legal theorising and judicial decision making some 20 years after the book’s publication. This chapter examines why Anatomy was unable to shift our thinking about the law of torts beyond the various formulae used to describe those torts.
