About the set

The leading text on the law of tort.

Clerk & Lindsell on Torts is the leading practitioner text on the English law of tort, covering negligence, nuisance, defamation, and the full range of civil wrongs. Published by Sweet & Maxwell and updated through regular supplements, it sits alongside Chitty on Contracts as one of the standard reference works cited most often in civil litigation.

Edition

The most recent edition carries the most value, though earlier complete editions are still worth having valued.

Completeness

Main volume plus current supplement is worth most, but the main text alone is still of interest.

Condition

Sound bindings and clean pages matter more than perfection. Ordinary wear is expected, and priced in.
