Biografisk notat
Donal Nolan is Professor of Private Law at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford, UK.Because [the essays] all bear the hallmarks of first-rate scholarship, the book comes highly recommended. Indeed, because most of the topics addressed in this book centre on aspects of the law that form the backbone of most university courses on tort law, I would go so far as to call it essential reading.
