Details

An indispensable source of reference for practitioners and tribunal members, Hamer's Professional Conduct Casebook is the only book to provide comprehensive coverage of case law in the field of professional regulation and discipline. The fourth edition of this long—standing casebook contains ninety chapters in an easy to follow A—Z format, as well as a supplement chapter covering additional cases right up until a month before publication.

The book analyses the key cases in a single portable volume, distilling the general principles from the legislative framework and offering lucid, informed summaries that are of great support for practitioners. Key words are included in the margin beside cases to enable the reader to see at a glance the critical features of the case in question. The book covers issues arising during the course of professional conduct proceedings, from absence of the practitioner to evidence, findings of fact, misconduct, impairment and sanction. The book identifies the applicable statutory and non-statutory provisions and guidance on each topic and summarises the leading cases and relevant case law.
