First published in 1927 Gloag and Henderson is quite simply, the work of reference on the law of Scotland. It is unique in providing the complete Scots private law library in one volume, with no other single legal title in Scotland offering the same kind of coverage.
From the outset it was distinguished by the clarity and accessibility of its coverage. The development of Scots law in the twentieth century can be traced through succeeding editions of the textbook.
As with previous editions, legislative changes have affected many of the topics included in Gloag and Henderson. This new edition incorporates all relevant changes in the law since the last edition in 2007. The delict section has been restructured significantly.
