The 'Frontiers of Liability' is the title of a series of high-level seminars held in All Souls College, Oxford during 1993 and 1994. Drawing together top academics, practitioners and judges, these seminars have sought to identify current trends in English law and have provided a forum for experts to give their assessment of how the law will develop in the future. The papers produced for the first four seminars were reproduced in volume 1 of 'Frontiers of Liability'. The next four seminars and the comments made by the distinguished rapporteurs are reproduced in this volume. These essays will be of interest to anyone concerned with international sales, the law of contract, tort and restitution, and equity and trusts.

`If you will allow yourselves to be encouraged to sample some of
the riches contained in these two volumes you will find ready
access to, and crisp analysis of, some of those greyest of "grey
areas" so beloved of examiners.'

`Their appearance has been keenly awaited, and they will not
disappoint those who were not able to attend the seminars. They are
books of essays which no self-respecting law library in the common
law jurisdictions can afford to be without, and no doubt they will
also be attractive to a good number of non-institutional purchasers
... both volumes are especially valuable - and important - for
those concerned with modern obligations law. The other two
areas
fall within public law and family law.'
Cambridge Law Journal
`In choosing the authors of the papers Professor Birks has created
a very impressive list of judges, academics, and practising
lawyers. The scholarship displayed by all the authors is of the
highest calibre and those who have an interest in any of the topics
discussed should regard the relevant papers as being essential
reading.'
