About this title

Review:

Those who use the book will benefit enormously from [the author's] detailed knowledge and illuminating analysis of an area of law which is as technically complex as it is socially important (The Honourable Mr Justice Munby)

I welcome this important guide as the perfect companion for all practitioners who need to be up to speed with this analysis of the latest set of rules since the introduction of the Human Rights Act whilst Blackstone's guides remain cost effective solutions to the vastness, complexity and expense of legal rules today. (Philip Taylor MBE, Abbey & Richmond Chambers, The Malet Street Gazette)
