Lord Atkin by Geoffrey Lewis

Stevenson 'Who then in law is my neighbour?' which became the foundation of the whole modern law of negligence. His courageous dissent in the wartime detention case of Liversidge v. Anderson is now recognised as a historic stand on principle. This book contains absorbing accounts of the background to these two great cases, as well as an assessment of their significance in the legal history of this century... This is a reprint of a work first published by Butterworths in 1983. This 1999 Hart Publishing Hardback is in good condition. DJ; Owner's Name inside.
