Details

More Weird Cases provides a further instalment of extraordinary cases from around the world that have featured in the author’s popular column in The Times Online.

The cases featured in More Weird Cases are those that truly stand out as odd, even among all the unusual dramas that challenge the courts:-

the case of the man caught with a substantial quantity of marijuana who said in his defence that he only possessed the drug for the purposes of de-worming his ducks;
a case where the court authorities didn’t accept that ‘being a cat’ was a proper excuse not to serve on a jury;
and one where a man was granted a divorce because his wife thought about having sex with another man.

This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys reading about the more bizarre aspects of human life that fetch up in the law courts at the beginning of the 21st century.
