Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Digest of English Case Law Containing the Reported Decisions of the Superior Courts, and a Selection From Those of the Scotch and Irish Courts, With a Collection of Cases Followed, Distinguished, Explained, Commented On, Overruled, or Questiond<br/><br/>The Digest of English Case Law  published in 1898  did a splendid work in reducing to rational and lucid order the case law of more than a century and a half. It consolidated at least decisions. It fused law and equity, as represented respectively by Fisher's Digest and Chitty's Equity Index. It incorporated the statute law wherever the case law without it would have been misleading. Its sixteen volumes were, in no conventional sense, a notable achievement, not only as an editorial and publishing feat, but as marking an epoch in the history of English law. Since then the work has been carried on by supplementary Annual Digests edited, like the larger work, by Mr. John Mews.
