Description
This is a student-oriented approach to the subject in a market dominated by detailed and weighty books. It explains in depth the principles and policies which have influenced the evolution of the law, examining the fundamentals, not the minutiae. The book should satisfy the needs of undergraduates approaching the subject at an academic level while also providing a clear and up-to-date exposition of the law for students on the LPC and BVC.
