Product Description

Product Description
(PUBLICATION FIRST MARKED AS OUT OF PRINT 20/05/04)Now in its second edition, Delictual Liability is a highly respected and extremely popular account of the principles of delict in Scots law and is a standard introductory textbook to the subject. Delict is a notoriously difficult area of law. This book is characterised by its clear and coherent account of the principles of delict, which should prove useful to student and practitioner alike. The text is founded on the principles of delictual liability, illustrated by many examples. The author discusses leading cases in detail, using diagrams to explain complicated situations clearly and concisely. The second edition is necessitated by general changes in the law. In particular, the chapter relating to economic loss has been completely rewritten to take account of the latest case law. Topics of immense practical importance are also included, such as road accidents and the quantification of damages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful guide to delict, 9 Dec 2002
By G. Brack - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Professor Thomson's book is well-indexed, with tables of statutes and cases at the front and a subject index at the back. Law textbooks are rarely a good read, but Thomson's structure is logical and he draws attention to key features by (sparing) use of italics and intelligent analysis of the important distinguishing facts.

A particular help is provided in the form of flow charts. The importance of these may not be clear, but they help in some complex cases by illustrating schematically the relationship between the parties; thus, they may show that whether A has a contractual relationship with C actually depends upon whether B has such a relationship with C. On p. 72, for example, there is a map which shows the positions of the parties in Bourhill v Young, something essential to understanding the decision.

References appear as footnotes on the page - where I think they are most useful! - and they are generally short, containing nothing that might profitably have been added to the main text.

The student of Scots Law (especially one who, like me, knew nothing of it) will find Thomson's book a helpful guide, logical and concise. While there is something appealing about getting a bigger book for your money, Thomson has packed his pages with a lot of information and its relative brevity is not indicative of slight treatment of the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do I need permission to create a hard stand in my front garden?, 31 Mar 2009
This review is from: Scottish Planning Law (Paperback)
This book is, and has been, a standard text for students studying urban and regional planning. I have used older versions of the book and found them to be excellent, straight to the point, matter of fact, and well set out in terms of chapters, issues and reference to supplementary publications and circulars. The book is expensive but there are only two good texts on planning legislation as it applies to Scotland available on the market. Hence the monopoly in this field by the authors, similar to Cullingworths book on 'Town & Country Planning in the UK' in England. So, if you want to wade through a plethora of legal and semi-legal Government publications to find what you want about Planning Laws, good luck. Personally, I would use this book when it appears, and I don't envy the authors trying to make sense of Planning Legislation as it goes through major changes to the planning system in Scotland, as a first stop to gaining an overview of aspects of legislation, then for specific information go to the associated publications referenced in the text or page. You don't have to purchase additional material to refer to as the majority of planning legislation is on Government or Council websites, including local plans and so forth. I rated the publication as 5, even though it has been delayed due to legislative amendments going on in Scotland. This is based on my experience with the older version of the book because it helped me immensely to get to grips with some complex legislation and procedures.
