I am in my first
year of an LLB course and this book is amazing! Tort is complex a lot
of the time and this book breaks it down into manageable sections. I
actually enjoy reading this book which says a lot - Amazon.co.uk, Oct

It\\\'s the first
Tort book that a law student should have. It tells us most of the
general concepts in a clear and precise way.
