Discrimination at work: The law on sex and race discrimination

Medical-negligence litigation is a complex and potentially confusing area, fraught with difficulty for the inexperienced practitioner. This practice guide concisely sets out the substantive law before leading the reader through all the stages of running a medical-negligence action on behalf of plaintiffs. Practical in approach, the book covers negotiation, tactics and relations with the client and witnesses, as well as law and procedure. Risks and costs are emphasized throughout, and means to reduce them suggested. The book's step-by-step approach is designed to make it easy to find information, and the appendices contain an extended case-study as well as valuable precedents and other useful information, such as a glossary of medical terms, health circulars, and relevant addresses and telephone numbers.

The complexity of housing legislation and the huge increase in reported cases in recent years, including in the appeal courts, mean that advice workers, solicitors and barristers need to find relevant cases quickly and easily. Based on the journal "Legal Action"'s quarterly series, "Recent Developments in Housing Law", this book includes not only all significant cases reported in "Legal Action" since 1985, but many of the more important cases decided before then. For ease of reference the summaries of cases have been organized accordingly to subject matter and the courts where they were decided. The main subject areas are evasion of statutory protection, public-sector security of tenure (Housing Act 1985), private-sector security of tenure (Rent Act 1977), private-sector security of tenure (Housing Act 1988), harassment and unlawful eviction, disrepair, homelessness, mortgage-possession proceedings, and long lessees (including service charges).

Housing Law Casebook

Nic Madge

The Housing Act 1996 completely revised the law on homelessness and linked it much more closely to that on allocations of housing stock through waiting lists. This edition was rewritten in the light of these changes and expanded to cover the revised law on allocations. It provides coverage of the interaction between homelessness and allocations under Part VI, the rules affecting eligibility, the definition of "homelessness", priority need and intentionality, and the temporary-housing duty towards homeless people. Also covered are the duty to provide an advice service, and the operation of the internal and county-court appeal system for homelessness.

The Human Rights Act 1998 imposes radical changes on UK law and practice: all statutes have to be reinterpreted to "read in" human rights, all public authorities (including the courts) have to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights - there is a new right of action against those who fail to do so - and breach of a Convention right is a defence in criminal and civil proceedings. The Act incorporates into UK law not only the Convention itself, but also the extensive case-law of the European Court and Commission of Human Rights. Presenting a detailed analysis of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the case law of the European Court and Commission of Human Rights, this book draws on all 1500 cases (reported and unreported) from Strasbourg which affect UK civil and criminal law. They are set out in a way designed to enable practitioners and advisers to concentrate on those cases most relevant to their area of practice.

This third edition of a work on representing clients detained by the police includes updated versions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the PACE Codes of Practice. It has been revised to take account of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996; new Law Society guidance on advising clients; recent "right-to-silence" case law; the Police (Crime) Act 1997; new Duty Solicitor Arrangements; and other legislative and case-law developments. In addition to the changes in content, the text and layout have been revised to incorporate more examples, boxed summaries and "key-point" lists. There is also discussion of practical points, tactical tips and ethical issues, supported by check-lists, sample forms and specimen letters.
