"This is a comprehensive text which very much meets the employability agenda for potential lawyers. The text really lives up to the Series title, Living Law, and examines Tort Law in the real world with everyday scenarios leading to a strong understanding of its function and purpose.

I also particularly like the use of practitioner interviews within the Book; they provide valuable comments on their particular area of Expertise."
