THE PRIMARY REFERENCE TOOL FOR ALL ASPECTS OF DAMAGESAn appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green ChambersThe sole author of this work for over 50 years, Harvey McGregor QC is widely regarded as the leading authority on damages in the UK, the Commonwealth and beyond -- which is why you cannot afford not to have this the latest 18th edition of this primary reference tool to hand, on the general principles and the particular aspects of common law damages. We are very fortunate to have a man with his knowledge and experience sharing it with us.Note that it's 6 years since the last edition of "McGregor" was published and as the author points out, 'change has been rife in the interim,' alluding to, for example, certain unattractive rules having been abandoned by the House of Lords, while at the same time, `brakes have been applied to expanding areas.'As for what exactly constitutes `damages', it's the author's assertion that arriving at a definition of the term has become more and more difficult as time has moved on and that therefore `the search for a clear cut comprehensive definition is therefore abandoned'. He does add that there is a definition which applies generally but not invariably and, in case you're curious, it can be expressed as:`Damages in the vast majority of cases are the pecuniary compensation, obtainable by success in an action, for a wrong which is either a tort or a breach of contract, the compensation being in the form of a lump sum awarded at one time, unconditionally and in sterling.
