内容简介

The case against the law of tort is made with Atiyahs usual scintillating clarity and in an entertainingly vigorous no-holds-barred styleAnyone looking for something to recommend to young people who are wondering whether they would find law interesting should look no further. John W. Davies Tort Law Review September 2002 This book is written in a style that means that no one need fear jargon or boredom. It is a short book and very cheap. I recommend it to anyone who is at all interested in its subject matterOne thing that the general reader may not know and the author cannot explain is his towering status. The fact that he has put his authority behind a radical reform of the systemought to encourage profound thought. Andrew Edis QC Times Higher Education Supplement September 2002 Such readable and stimulating overviews of the social and intellectual effects of tort law are very welcome Tony Weir Cambridge Law Journal February 2003
