"What Turner sets out in his excellent text book is a formidable explanation of the subject of Torts in easily understandable terms for what can be a difficult area of law for many to study (and teach) although it may look superficially easy" - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
