This new statement of ^iThe Law of Nuisance^r by John Murphy is a welcome addition to English law library shelves. In recent years the volume of case law in the English courts has grown significantly. Murphy's clear, logically-structured text charts these developments and integrates them with the underlying conceptual framework of nuisance.

Elspeth Reid, The Edinburgh Law Review

Be it private nuisance, public nuisance or statutory nuisance, this book offers invaluable help in identifying and bottoming out the issues.

John Randall QC, St Philips Chambers

The book has all the qualities one would hope to find in a first-rate modern legal treatise: it is scholarly, opinionated, thorough, up-to-date, clear and authoritative.

Professor Ken Oliphant, Director of the Institute for European Tort Law

Murphy brings to the subject a historical perspective, clear analysis, and a healthy scepticism of simplistic explanations.

Stephen Waddams, University Professor and Goodman/Schipper Professor of Law, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto

This is an excellent book, comprehensive yet concise, scholarly yet accessible. It should be essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the structure and scope of the law of nuisance.

Mrs Janet O'Sullivan, Fellow in Law and University Senior Lecturer, Selwyn College, University of Cambridge

...a thoughtful, readable and rich addition to the literature on the subject.

Maria Lee, Legal Studies

Providing a detailed overview of the law of nuisance this book addresses contentious issues such as the distinction between the rule in Rylands v Fletcher and the law of private nuisance; the law that excludes personal injuries from the remit of nuisance, and the relationship between public and private nuisance. The book also considers statutory nuisance and the extent to which it can be seen to exceed private and public nuisances as well as utility of nuisance as an environmental tort. This book provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of the law of nuisance, drilling down to distinctions between these different types of nuisance as well as examining in detail the overlaps between them.
