This popular text has been completely revised and largely rewritten to offer the most complete and detailed study of UK Tort Law available. In this expanded edition, the authors clearly explain how and why this branch of law has suffered as a result of conflicting judicial, academic, and legislative attempts to shape and rationalize it. This edition includes enlarged sections on product liability, damages, medical liability, and privacy; and a new section on governmental liability. Aimed at students, but useful for practitioners given the more detailed treatment of each area, this book is the ideal text for the study of British Tort Law.

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
