Revue de presse :

Tort Law by McBride and Bagshaw is extremely comprehensive, covering many of the areas of a Tort law course and also additional areas which may be covered by other subjects.Each chapter conveys the information in an easy to understand and straight-forward manner. Each tort is explained by reference to examples. This is very useful as these hypothetic examples spell out the circumstances that the law attempts to address. The companion website is very useful with updates on the most recent cases which are useful for tort law, common law or consumer law student's. The updated cases also include some analytic content which is both thought provoking and useful.

'The authors provide an updating service on the Pearson website covering all new cases and statutes, and providing problems and model answers. This is a valuable resource for students (and lecturers) for a subject which is constantly on the march.'Christine Vallely, University of Wolverhampton, The Law Teacher Vol 37, No 1.
