READ:Kenneth Williams, ‘State of Fear: Britain’s “Compensation Culture” Reviewed’ (2005) 25 LS 499. The Lewis & Morris (2012) and Hand (2010) articles may be of use to you, too.

Discuss, citing examples from case law and recent news stories (perhaps comparing a different jurisdiction, if you like)m
