Stephen Sauvain's Highway Law ranges from the civil liability of highway authorities to the creation, finance and maintenance of new roads, inquiries, compulsory purchase and compensation. The focus throughout the text is on highway law as a coherent body of legislation and case law. The author presents a comprehensive overview, setting statute and common law in their operative context. Methodical lay-out of the text in numbered paragraphs makes access to discussion of specific issues as rapid as possible. Highway Law will prove of particular value to local authorities, highway engineers, and practitioners involved in conveyancing and land law disputes and advising in negligence and nuisance.
