    What is the difference between both series? Are they any good for revision, mainly in tort, contract and constitutional law?

    Thanks.

    OP, they are different books covering different aspects, but they do compliment each other.
    The nutshells is the revision aid - I find them quite good, concise, and easier to carry around than the core recommended reading!
    The nutcases are the cases, each sorted by topic - there is a brief synopsis of each case, the outcome and the principle.

    If you are only going to buy one, I'd personally go with the nutshells.

    Take care though! In some limited instances Nutshells have mistakes or be outdated by developments, e.g., there is no Nutshell to my knowledge on the recent land and conveyancing reform Act, etc.

    They should really only be used to quickly refresh the existing principles learned as a result of in depth study.

    That's exactly how I'll be using them.

    Thanks for your advice!
