Winfield & Jolowicz on Tort has been the leading work on the subject since the first edition was published over 90 years ago, and with the publication of this twenty-first edition it continues to be a clear, authoritative and comprehensive guide to this area of law. It is widely adopted for use by students, an invaluable resource for practitioners, and regarded in other legal systems as providing a definitive account of the English law of tort. For this edition, the entire text has been extensively revised and the book has been restructured to make it more useful to the modern reader.
