Editorial Reviews

Review

`provides an essential, useful and pragmatic coverage of liability under Common Law ... the authors have managed to combine legal fact, explanation and critical analysis in a readable and well-structured format. I am pleased to have a copy on my shelf.' Peter Howsam, Water and Environmental Management Journal: Vol 16, No 1, March 2002

`For those with an interest in the evolution of our regulatory system, Chapter One is a delightful read. It picks out the political and social context of the public health acts perfectly and with humour. Likewise, the sections dealing with the structure of the legislation and relevance of international and European law are well-researched and clear ... These sections will be of use to the academic environmental lawyer and they lend weight to what is quite an academic text.' Richard Kimblin, Journal of Environmental Law Vol 13 No 1

`impressive and substantial ... the structure of the text is well-thought out and accessible ... the overall content and tenor of the text is well-researched and will be useful both to those who are tackling a subject for the first time and for old hands alike.'
