The New Penguin Guide to the Law

Více o knize

This third edition reflects the numerous and, in some areas, profound changes to the law in the last decade. The section on family law covers the new Children's Act and the rights of children (and parents) when families separate. Similarly, the section on the legal system explains the major changes in legal aid procedures including constructive criticism of what is wrong with the legal system. The influence European Community legislation has in the United Kingdom is explained too; in addition there is new material on the legal factors which have to be taken into account by any business venture, including a section on insolvency of companies and bankruptcy of individuals, all of which have changed since the previous edition.
