Reviews

The prince of legal textbooks
Lord Goff of Chieveley

It is indeed, impossible to imagine a major set of chambers or firm of solicitors without this book... its real claim to authority is its combination of erudition and lucidity... a glance at the table of contents will demonstrate how necessary, besides attractive, this book is.
