Overview

A primary reference tool on the general principles and the particular aspects of common law damages, McGregor on Damages is still the leading authority on damages and has been for over 50 years. Part of the Common Law Library McGregor on Damages provides in-depth and comprehensive coverage of the law, from detailed consideration of the general principles to a full analysis of specific areas of damages.   The 21st edition contains a number of significant new features: Each and every chapter of the book's fifty chapters has been updated and many have been very substantially revised. An entirely rewritten chapter on licence fee damages following the groundbreaking decision of the Supreme Court in Morris-Garner v One Step (Support) Ltd [2018] UKSC 20, [2019] AC 649. This detailed new chapter explains the circumstances in which this very important category of damages will be available after that decision. Many revisions and updated chapters have been prompted by important new decisions.
