This new edition of the Modern Law of Negligence covers changes in the law, and brings you analysis and interpretation of all these major decisions, including Wells v Wells, X v Bedfordshire, Stovin v Wise, White v South Yorkshire Cheif Constable, Page v Smith, White v Jones, Bolitho v City etc Health Authority, Henderson v Merrett Syndicates, Spring v Guardian Assurance, Sheldon v RHM Outhwaite, South Australia Asset Management Corp v York Montague and N Y Kredit Mortgage Bank v Edward Erdman Group (No 2).
