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.
