Reviews / Votes
'The authors' explanation and commentary is straighforward. Despite the book's small size, it is comprehensive enough, and deals with practical issues using their experiences and that of case law to great effect. The book's attempt to make readers avoid the pitfalls of the change in legislation is achieved with ease.' New Law Journal, 4 November 2005More details
