"I wanted to let you know how useful I have found the book 'Court of Protection Practice' by Ashton and others, It contains a really useful collection of primary source materials and the commentary is excellent. I particularly appreciate the way that the authors have provided a detailed history of the various matters covered in the text ... The book really is very good. It's a 'must have' work for anyone who does either finance and property or health and welfare work and is advising clients about C of P issues. I shall look forward to seeing the new edition in February 2015."
