Reviews for The Law of Intervening Causation

'An excellent analysis, which tackles an important issue: thorough, interesting and with some penetrating insights. The comparative information from other jurisdictions is handled carefully, and is very illuminating.' Julian Fulbrook, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK 'This is a very handy reference book in an awkward area of the law which I believe fills a gap in legal literature in this important area of the law of negligence. I look forward to seeking solace in its pages when working out the solution to negligence appeals involving third party activity.' Australian Law Journal
