Digest of Automobile Accident Cases (Third Edition)

The item is a legal textbook titled "Digest of Automobile Accident Cases," a specialized digest of legal cases concerning automobile accidents in Canada, including Quebec, and incorporates selected English decisions. It also covers cases related to automobile accident insurance and the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund. The author of the main content is Frank C. Hall of the British Columbia Bar. An introduction is provided by J. Pitcairn Hogg, M.A., LL.B. (Glasgow), who served as the Legislative Counsel of the Province of British Columbia. This specific copy is identified as the "Third Edition," edited by Carl H. Morawetz, LL.M., D.Jur., of the Prince Edward Island Bar. The book was published in Toronto by The Carswell Company, Limited, located at 145-149 Adelaide Street West, and carries a publication date of 1953. The visible page is an interior title page, printed on off-white or cream-colored paper, suggesting its age. The text is printed in black ink, featuring various font sizes and styles to differentiate headings, authors, and publishing details. The general condition appears good, with no visible tears, significant stains, or major creases observed on the page. The paper shows a slight discoloration consistent with its age, but no apparent degradation or foxing. The binding is not visible, but the flatness of the page suggests it is either a well-preserved hardcover or a softcover that lays flat. The craftsmanship appears standard for a legal publication of its era, prioritizing clarity and durability over ornate design.
