Remedies and Damages

This work brings to the fore a range of issues which are of topical interest to litigators and to teachers of law. Some of the essays cover issues that are the subject of reform proposals, and highlight the principal issues facing the reformers and the objections which have been raised by those opposed to the reform. Four of the essays tackle a strand of tort law which is growing in importance - the area of personal negligence.

The first chapter in the book also offers an overview of Tort law in the UK, which argues for a complete rethink of the system of personal injuries litigation in the UK, starting with its abolition and replacement by a vastly expanded system of private insurance.
