The law of burial, cremation and exhumation,

Russell Davies, M. R

This standard textbook on the subject has been fully revised to take account of the many changes in law and practice that have occurred since the last edition. Of particular note are the regulations that relate to the cremation of body parts, the consequences of the Dr Shipman case and various matters associated with coroners and death certification generally. Many other topical issues are addressed, such as the disposal of foetal remains and the Office of Fair Trading Report Funerals. The book remains comprehensive in its coverage. Part 1 deals with funeral arrangements including general requirements after death, registration of deaths and still births, the disposal of bodies and the responsibility for funeral arrangements and expenses. Part 2 deals with burials, in churchyards and cemeteries, and the procedure and registration of a burial. Parts 3 and 4 cover cremation and exhumation fully. A series of Appendices gives further useful information. This book is invaluable to all those connected with the disposal of the dead.

Davies' Law of Burial, Cremation and Exhumation

David Smale

A practical guide to the law and practice of parish, town and community councils in England and Wales, presented in an alphabetical classification. It provides an A-Z listing of all matters relevant to parish councils and parish councillors. It aims to assist the reader through the complications of the law while avoiding over-technical language and providing practical comments where possible. Primarily intended for use by those involved either as members or officers, it should also prove a useful guide for those wondering what duties might be entailed in becoming a parish councillor. This 16th edition has been revised to bring its contents up to date.

This book was published for the first time in 1993 and proved popular as a clear, straightforward reference to the law of highways. Michael Orlik has now revised the text to take account of legislation since the original edition, including the Countryside and Rights of Way Act. Also incorporated are references to recent case law, including important High Court judgements on winter maintenance and accidents on the highway, such as "Stovin v. Wise", and on rights of way. The cases now reaching the higher courts on the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the subsequent regulations are also covered, as is the House of Lords decision in the "Wildtree Hotels" case in the context of compulsory purchase and compensation. The recent environmental legislation and the implications of the Human Rights Act on highway administration are considered. The format of the book has been retained with the intention that it should continue to provide easy access into this specialist area of law for busy solicitors in general practice and for highway engineers charged with the maintenance of the country's road network.
