Details

Laddie, Prescott and Vitoria is an authority on all issues that are important to those practising in the field of copyright. The well-respected title is replete with worked examples and in-depth discussions, and it contains all the historical and contextual material needed to ensure practitioners are expertly briefed in this complex and fast-moving area of law.

This much anticipated fifth edition of Laddie has been fully edited and revised to focus primarily on the law of copyright. The comprehensive new look 2-volume Work has been extensively re-worked to take into account all the latest developments in EU and UK legislation and case law, and developments in technology and content delivery mechanisms since the last edition. The new structure of the Work facilitates easy navigation of the most topical, fast-moving subjects that are important to practitioners.
