Given that the 1957 Act has served as a model, albeit with degrees of variation, for reforming legislation in many countries, the relevance and appeal of this book clearly extend beyond the English jurisdiction. Awareness of the comparative context is amply demonstrated, and references are made throughout to legal points and issues arising in different jurisdictions. The intended readership is practitioners in the field and academics with an interest in torts or delict. It would also make an excellent text for honours level students and, while not aimed at such a readership, it is sufficiently clear, accessible, and interesting that it could be recommended to students at any level sufficiently interested in the subject to read beyond the standard materials. As a resource for drawing comparisons and providing insights into this area of civil liability, Occupiersa Liability is a truly useful addition to private law literature.
