Rezensionen / Stimmen
a rich, superb and much needed legal practitioners' book on health and safety enforcement...full of constructive and intricate details that only eminent pratitioners can deliver. Well worth reading Sally Rampage, The Criminal Lawyer ...a practitioner text which combines an impressive depth of analysis, together in one volume with most of the statutory material required for day to day reference. Those looking to establish a practice in this area would be well advised to invest in a copy of Health and Safety Enforcement Thom Dyke, Solicitors Journal
