Review

`an excellent work' F.G. du Bois, SOAS, University of London

`Excellent text, covers all the material, clear and well written.' Norma Hird, University of Sheffield

`Its great strengths are: (a) the comparative dimension, sadly lacking in so many Tort texts; and (b) the drawing in of material on Contract. The book has a broad sweep and is exciting to read.' Michael G. Bridge, University of Nottingham

`Excellent. Best tort text available. Now the most stimulating on the market.' Andrew Grubb, King's College

`A well presented book which is popular with students because it is sufficiently detailed for degree level but also clear and interesting to read.' Sue Deebank, University of Birmingham

`Students like the clear style of this book.' Evelyn Ellis, University of Birmingham

`Excellent - this text goes from strength to strength. Comprehensive covering all aspects of tort law with sufficient academic rigour.' A. Housie, Staffordshire University

`A very strong book indeed, impressive in its extent of coverage yet still managing to remain easy to follow.' Demetrius Andreas Flondas, Anglia Business School

`An excellent and clear analysis of the law for law students with a useful critical dimension.' P.R. Ghandhi, University of Reading
