Congratulations to ODG members Charles and Paul Mitchell on the publication of Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort by Hart Publishing. The book contains thirteen original essays on leading tort cases, ranging from the early nineteenth century to the present day. It is the third volume in a series of collected essays on landmark cases  - the previous two volumes having dealt with restitution (Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution) and contract (Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract). All but essay 9 are extremely interesting.

 As has been customary, Hart is offering a 20% discount to ODG members if the attached order form is used.
