Review Quotes Bringing diverse voices and traditionally marginalised viewpoints to bear upon mainstream tort issues, this is a genuinely unique collection of essays which both advances our understanding of tort law as a mechanism of civil redress and generates new insights into the relation between law, power and disadvantage. Joanne Conaghan, University of Bristol A great book; original, insightful and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.
