Harold 'Harry' Luntz {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AO}} (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.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}} Luntz was educated at Athlone Boys' High School in Johannesburg and graduated from the University of Witwatersrand with degrees in arts and law. He served three years’ articles of clerkship at the same time as undertaking his law degree. In 1960, he was employed for a brief period as a solicitor in a firm of solicitors in Johannesburg and then took at Bachelor of Civil Law at Lincon College, University of Oxford. He began publishing in academic journals in the early 1960s. Some of his appointments:
He is editor of the Australian Torts Law Journal.[2] He wrote a text in 1974 that saw its fifth edition in 2008 ('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.[3] He remains one of the world’s foremost scholars and theoreticians of torts and damages law. On Australia Day (the 26th of January), [4] he was awarded an AO for "distinguished service to legal education, as an academic and editor, to professional development, and to the community."
