Buckley: The Law of Negligence and Nuisance, 6th Edition

The sixth edition of Buckley: The Law of Negligence and Nuisance brings the work right up to date in print and online.

Part of Butterworth's Common Law Series, this title draws extensively upon recent cases and judicial pronouncements and also includes references to case law from jurisdictions outside the UK.

The law of negligence touches on many areas of professional practice and remains a complex and a growing area of business for solicitors. Buckley deals with the multiple duties owed at the interface of the principles of negligence with medical and personal injury law, employment law, consumer law, licensing, and as such it is an essential addition to the library of any solicitor's firm.

The book is also part of the Common Law menu which is supported by annual updates.
