The Eighth Edition ensures that practitioners maintain a progressive edge by providing useful precedents such as the latest model directions, instructions for experts and draft agendas for experts. It contains a new chapter on product liability and a separate Welsh chapter.

It also includes coverage of the more than 250 reported cases concerning clinical negligence since the last edition. This includes:

2 in the Supreme Court
36 in the Court of Appeal - Civil Division

20+ in the county courts

These cases cover a wide range of subjects from causation and breach of duty through to specifics relating to life expectancy and wrongful birth.
