Editorial Reviews
Review
Few English tort lawyers could read this book without profiting greatly. this book deserves to be read by anyone who takes tort seriously. With the passage of the 1998 Act, the law of tort will have to change in some fairly fundamental ways. ‘Tort Law and Human Rights’ provides the best and most comprehensive available guide as to what those changes might be. John Murphy, University of Manchester Modern Law Review October 2001
