The authors, both from the University of Oxford, have made an important contribution to the literature on this subject in this detailed investigation of its everyday practicalities, which oddly enough, have hitherto been largely unexplored. The hope is expressed that this study will be used to inform future developments in this often-vexed area of law. Lawyers, academics and certainly members of the judiciary will no doubt regard this book as essential reading. The extensive tables of claims data detailed in the book's four appendices are well-nigh indispensable.
