Harold Luntz

Harold Luntz

Harold 'Harry' Luntz (born in South Africa in 1937) is an Australian law professor. He is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading experts on torts law.

He began publishing in academic journals in the early 1960s. Some of his appointments:

* 1970 - Visiting Associate Professor at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada.
* 1971 - Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
* 1976 - Professor, University of Melbourne.
* 1986-88, Dean of the Law Faculty, University of Melbourne.
* Visiting Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford.

He is editor of the Australian Torts Law Journal. He wrote a text in 1974 that saw its fourth edition in 2002 ('Assessment of Damages for Personal Injury and Death'). This text is widely quoted in the highest courts of Australia, as well as England, Canada and the United States.

He is officially retired from University work, but he continues to maintain an office, teach, write essays and mark exams. Despite being an expert on negligence, he is a leading advocate of 'tort law reform' policy, that would replace the law of negligence with a no-fault compensation scheme, and/or provide such adequate social welfare that the awarding of damages becomes unnecessary.
