[Philip harvey]

ever wondered about the ins and outs of vicarious liability? what about the frankly mind blowing consequences of Hedley Bryne V Heller and Partners for legal precedents under the law of Tort?
If so I can heartily recommend this book, at 450 odd pages of what would generously be described as 'borderline legible' font size it also represents fantastic pound for £ value
