This edition of this established classic tort text exhibits the traditional Salmond & Heuston hallmarks: a detailed treatment of the law of torts written in a highly accessible and clear style. It remains the definitive undergraduate text on this complex area of law.
The impact of the House of Lords decisions in Cambridge Water Company v. Eastern Counties Leather and White v. Jones are assessed, as are significant developments relating to concurrent liability, psychiatric damage and damages for personal injury.
