Summary:     

 “This . . . work provides a reminder of how extensive is the range of the law of delict . . . The subject might suggest the image of a large mansion to which many additions have been made over the years in response to changing conditions in society . . . This book rises to the challenge and offers the fortunate visitor a systematic guide to the edifice.”

Francis McManus is Emeritus Professor of Law at Edinburgh Napier University.

Eleanor Russell is a Solicitor and Lecturer in Law at Glasgow Caledonian University.

Josephine Bisacre is a Solicitor and Senior Teaching Fellow at Heriot-Watt University.

 

(From the Foreword by the Rt Hon Lord Cullen PC, Lord Justice-Clerk, to the first edition).

 

Recognising the multi-faceted nature of the subject, the authors of this book have produced, in a single volume, a truly comprehensive guide to the law. This is essential reading for all students of delict as well as practitioners who require an up-to-date reference.
