The Law of Nuisance

...a thoughtful, readable and rich addition to the literature on the subject. * Maria Lee, Legal Studies * This is an excellent book, comprehensive yet concise, scholarly yet accessible. It should be essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the structure and scope of the law of nuisance. * Mrs Janet O'Sullivan, Fellow in Law and University Senior Lecturer, Selwyn College, University of Cambridge * Murphy brings to the subject a historical perspective, clear analysis, and a healthy scepticism of simplistic explanations. * Stephen Waddams, University Professor and Goodman/Schipper Professor of Law, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto * The book has all the qualities one would hope to find in a first-rate modern legal treatise: it is scholarly, opinionated, thorough, up-to-date, clear and authoritative. * Professor Ken Oliphant, Director of the Institute for European Tort Law * Be it private nuisance, public nuisance or statutory nuisance, this book offers invaluable help in identifying and bottoming out the issues. * John Randall QC, St Philips Chambers * This new statement of iThe Law of Nuisancer by John Murphy is a welcome addition to English law library shelves. In recent years the volume of case law in the English courts has grown significantly. Murphy's clear, logically-structured text charts these developments and integrates them with the underlying conceptual framework of nuisance. * Elspeth Reid, The Edinburgh Law Review *
