'Anyone wanting a clear, accessible and thought-provoking account of modern tort law need look no further than Modern Tort Law. It is extremely well-written with a wonderful consideration of the case-law and legal framework. The outline definitions are also superb, as is the companion website which allows the reader to quickly check their knowledge and understanding.' - Student Law Journal, October 2008
