This text outlines recent developments in the law of negligence, including solicitors' obligations in the light of limitation issues, the liability of architects and engineers to persons other than their clients, causation in the context of medical negligence and the statutes for accountants. Following a general introduction to the principles of professional negligence, the volume examines its impact on architects, engineers, surveyors, solicitors, barristers, medical practitioners, insurance brokers and accountants. Extensive references are given not only to cases discussed in the established law reports, but also to cases recorded in the respective professional journals.
