Rezensionen / Stimmen
'this book should have an important place on the shelf of any Lawyer or Company Secretary. The answers this book provides are not found conveniently in one place elsewhere the book does what it says on the cover. It deals comprehensively, with the requirements for the valid execution of documents in English Law both by individuals and by companies, and also the administration of oaths, execution of documents of truth and various other instruments. This is a valuable work and most practices will get enormous use from it.' R M Wiseman; 'This is a riveting read. Keep it on your shelves and you'll be confident that you will have the answer to most issues about how to make a legal document work.' New Law Journal
