Despite the centrality of the contributory negligence doctrine in practice, almost nothing is known about how it functions in reality. The authors, seeking to fill this deficit in understanding, have engaged in a wide-ranging empirical study of how the doctrine is handled by the courts. They report their methodology and findings in this volume, framing their discussion in the law of contributory negligence.

The study is based on 572 first instance decisions on contributory negligence from across the UK decided between 2000 and 2016, and 130 appellate decisions handed down in the same time period. The analysis considers the operation of the contributory negligence doctrine at first instance and on appeal, and also in three particular contextual settings, namely road accidents, accidents at work and professional negligence claims. The authors conclude with a discussion of the central issues identified in the analysis, and look at how the study can be used to inform future developments in this area of law. Substantial appendices set out all of the data on which the book is based, enabling academics to utilise the dataset in their own research and allowing practitioners to easily compare their cases with previously decided cases.

Arvustused

... the book is written in a highly accessible and direct style, characteristic of both authors. [ It] is brimming with thought-provoking findings and insightful commentary * Iain Field, TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland, Journal of Professional Negligence * The authors, both from the University of Oxford, have made an important contribution to the literature on this subject in this detailed investigation of its everyday practicalities, which oddly enough, have hitherto been largely unexplored. The hope is expressed that this study will be used to inform future developments in this often-vexed area of law. Lawyers, academics and certainly members of the judiciary will no doubt regard this book as essential reading. The extensive tables of claims data detailed in the book's four appendices are well-nigh indispensable. * Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chamber *
