“The author's analytical approach and clarity of thought not only enables non-English readers to gain an insight into English law but is also conductive to a better understanding of the problems of evidential uncertainty... Her thorough critical discussion of the loss of chance and material increase of the risk approaches in English law is exceedingly interesting. All parts of the book are tightly connected, the analysis is consistent and the author's message clear: there is a need of coherence in the law of negligence, best achieved through a corrective justice-based understanding, that leaves no room for the success of claims in cases of evidential uncertainty.” – Eleni Zervogianni, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece,

“I cannot recommend this outstanding book highly enough. Evidential Uncertainty in Causation in Negligence is a tremendous piece of scholarship that is lucidly written, thoroughly researched, and packed with stimulating insights. It can hold its own against the other excellent monographs that have recently been published on this topic, and clarifies many issues in this notoriously recalcitrant area of tort doctrine.” – Craig Purshouse, School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool,
Medical Law Review
“Turton's analysis is a good example of joined-up thinking, fortified by a robust account of the relevant case law and corresponding literature. It will certainly assist those wanting to access the practical relevance of NESS to English common law, and anyone struggling to consolidate the conceptual and pragmatic challenges generated by evidential uncertainty in causation in negligence. This work provides a useful tool for navigating infamously difficult legal waters.” – Sarah Green, St Hilda's College, Oxford,
Professional Negligence
“Turton ... delivers on her promise to provide an account of the law of negligence that overcomes many of the difficulties presently encountered in this notoriously difficult area of law. Evidential Uncertainty in Causation in Negligence is well worth reading.” – James Plunkett, Barrister of the Inner Temple,
