Recenzii

Review of the previous edition:An extremely accessible, useful and impressive collection of cases and materials.
Review of the previous edition:The extracts are expertly chosen and provide the necessary information without being too brief. The text, whilst being accessible, is also thought-provoking with a number of excellent questions posed at the end of extracts allowing the reader to consider an issue's wider implications.
Review of the previous edition:I have no hesitation in recommending Hepple & Matthews' Tort: Cases and Materials to anyone interested in or studying this intriguing area of law. Its advantages are two-fold: it is written in an extremely accessible and clear way and, at the same time, encourages the reader to undertake independent research and thought.
