This theoretical grounding is then rooted in reality, with each concept applied to a hypothetical scenario (included at the start of each chapter) to set it into a practical context.
While this practical element helps students to understand how the law applies and develop problem-solving skills, a trio of supportive learning features also encourages active engagement with and a critical appreciation of public law. ‘Key case’ boxes highlight and analyse the significant case law in each area; ‘Counterpoint’ boxes flag alternative viewpoints and areas of debate; and ‘Pause for reflection’ boxes prompt readers to consider the impact of laws, and what potential developments and reforms may lie ahead.
Public Law’s modern approach and unique combination of practical application and theoretically critical discussion makes it the ideal choice for students seeking to understand concepts not only in the abstract but in practice, helping them to develop the skills they need to succeed at university and beyond.

An Introduction to Personal Injury Law
Personal Injury law is one of the most ubiquitous areas of legal practice yet often forms no more than a tiny fraction of a student’s study of the law of Tort. This book is designed to provide the necessary background and information to take the reader from a standing start (whether law student, file handler, or litigant-in-person) to a level of understanding where they can run a claim with a real understanding of the underlying issues, the aims of such litigation and the issues which can arise. It provides a genuine touchstone for anybody involved in Personal Injury law, serving to remind them of what they are doing and why. ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Boyle read Law at Churchill College, Cambridge and has 21 years’ experience of Personal Injury work based at Deans Court Chambers in Manchester. He has a thriving practice across a broad spectrum of complex, high value, high profile and unusual Multi-Track claims, lectures at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and has been Head of Mini-Pupillage at Deans Court for 6 years. Always approachable, he has a particular appreciation of the need for clients to understand their litigation, no matter what the complexities, and has a reputation for clarity and forensic rigour in both his written and oral advocacy. In 2015, the Legal 500 said that he “Provides tactically astute, detailed advice and is able to convey this simply.” He has carried that through to his writing, the critically acclaimed “On Experts” and this, his second book. “He writes as he speaks: He surveys the territory with the advantage of a wealth of experience, richly leavened with a generous helping of personal anecdote, thereby combining authority with accessibility.” – Turner JRead more
